We developed two Ytterbium-doped rod-type effective singlemode fibers based on new hexagonal FA-LPF design, exhibiting MFD of 47μm and 67μm. Both fibers can deliver 150W of 1030nm signal for 250W of pump power, characterized in a MOPA set-up for different nanosecond pulse durations and repetition rate with excellent beam quality (M2 ⪅ 1.1). Using the 47μm MFD fiber, TMI threshold has been measured for signal power slightly higher than 200W. Using the 67μm MFD fiber, we performed, through a third harmonic generation, the creation of 51W signal power at 343nm for 8ns temporally square pulse at 400 kHz repetition rate.
