3C (Chirally-Coupled Core) optical fiber establishes a technological platform for high brightness, power scalable lasers
with an engineerable fiber geometry that enables robustly single-mode performance of large core diameter fibers. Here
we report the demonstration of robust polarization preserving performance of 35 μm core 3C fiber for short pulse
systems. A polarization extinction ratio (PER) of ~ 20 dB is stably maintained with ambient temperatures varying over a
50°C range from a Yb-doped double clad 3C fiber amplifier. We also demonstrate that this high-PER polarization
output is insensitive to temperature gradients and mechanical perturbations in the 3C fiber amplifier. The ability to
deliver high peak power pulses at high average powers while maintaining exceptional beam quality and a stable
polarization state in an easily integrated format makes 3C fiber laser systems extremely attractive for harmonic
generation to visible and UV wavelengths.
