Abstract
An acoustic and gain tailored photonic crystal fiber (PCF), and a hybrid microstructured fiber, were used to demonstrate near diffraction limited output powers of 1160W and 820W, respectively, with spectral linewidths ≤1GHz. Both amplifiers sufficiently suppressed stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) but were ultimately limited by the onset of modal instabilities (MI).
