Abstract
High-energy Q-switched master oscillator power amplifier systems based on rod-type 4×4 multicore fibers are demonstrated, achieving energy up to 49 mJ in ns-class pulses. A tapered fiber geometry is tested that maintains low mode order in large multimode output cores, improving beam quality in comparison to a similar fiber with no taper. The tapered fiber design can be scaled both in the number of amplifying cores and in the dimensions of the cores themselves, providing a potential route toward joule-class fiber lasers systems.
