We report on the latest development within active photonic crystal fibers for high power lasers and amplifiers with special focus on how the fibers can be improved with both polarization-maintaining and polarizing properties. We describe rod-type fibers for which a record-high power extraction of 250W/m is achieved. Moreover, we describe how active characterization is used to optimize fibers for laser and amplifier sub-assemblies with respect to beam quality, efficiency and robustness. Finally, we illustrate how the fibers can be integrated with high NA tapers and passive air-clad fibers containing Bragg grating to form an all-fiber, alignment-free, high-power fiber laser subassembly.
