Abstract
Multiple-core fibers offer the possibility of creating fiber lasers with enlarged effective core diameter, while simultaneously controlling mode shape and quality. A review is presented of the basic theory used for design, and examples presented of such lasers operating in Q-switched mode. Examples of active, non-interacting, and passive multiple-core fibers are also presented.
