Scaling mode-locked fiber lasers to high energies using chirally-coupled core fiber

We report energy scaling of mode-locked fiber lasers using chirally-coupled core fiber. Pulse energies above 40 nJ dechirping below 200 fs are demonstrated, as well as dechirped durations around 100 fs at pump-limited energies.
