We demonstrate that the PM 56/400 Yb tapered fiber achieves a good combination of large mode field diameter and beam quality for use in a pulsed, monolithic fiber amplifier. We evaluate this fiber over a wide test regime to determine its viability when compared to other amplifier fibers. Our focus is achieving as much energy, peak power, and average power as possible while remaining conservative to protect the fiber long-term. The fiber is tested using our Counter-Pumped Tapered Endcap (CPTEC) design that retains the benefits of counter-pumping without the drawbacks of free-space coupling.
