A method and apparatus use a photonic-crystal fiber having a very large core while maintaining a single transverse mode. In some fiber lasers and amplifiers having large cores problems exist related to energy being generated at multiple-modes (i.e., polygamy), and of mode hopping (i.e., promiscuity) due to limited control of energy levels and fluctuations. The problems of multiple-modes and mode hopping result from the use of large-diameter waveguides, and are addressed by the invention. This is especially true in lasers using large amounts of energy (i.e., lasers in the one-megawatt or more range). By using multiple small waveguides in parallel, large amounts of energy can be passed through a laser, but with better control such that the aforementioned problems can be reduced. An additional advantage is that the polarization of the light can be maintained better than by using a single fiber core.

High-speed measurements of the output power level of a laser are obtained by using a high-speed laser output power monitoring device that is capable of producing an electrical feedback signal having an amplitude that varies as the output power level of the laser varies. A high-speed amplitude detector receives the electrical feedback signal and detects the amplitude of the feedback signal and produces an optical modulation amplitude (OMA) detection signal. The OMA detection signal is received in a high-speed amplitude measurement device that measures the OMA and produces an OMA measurement value. The OMA measurement value is then processed by the laser controller to obtain a modulation current control signal, which is then output to the laser driver to cause the laser driver to adjust the laser modulation current to obtain a desired or optimum laser output power level. An average amplitude measurement value may also be obtained using an average amplitude measurement device that processes the OMA detection signal produced by the high-speed amplitude detector to obtain the average amplitude measurement value. The laser controller receives the average amplitude measurement value and processes it to obtain a bias current control signal, which is then output to the laser driver to cause it to adjust the amplitude of the bias current to obtain a desired or optimum average laser output power level.
