Novel technique for mode selection in a large-mode-area fiber laser

Abstract

A novel method for selectively exciting a single-spatial-mode (fundamental or higher-order) in a high-power multi-mode fiber laser resonator is presented. Preliminary results for a cladding-pumped Tm-doped silica fiber laser are discussed.
