High peak and average power delivery from Fully-Aperiodic Large-Pitch-Fiber lasers (Invited)

In this invited communication, we perform a review on Fully-Aperiodic Large Pitch Fibers. Major advantages and drawbacks of this design are presented first as well as the synthesis method, which enables the success of their fabrication. Some laser experiments are then detailed in order to prove the relevance of the aperiodic fiber concept. Very last experimental results and some prospects will be finally shown during the conference.
