Study of wavelength dependence of mode instability based on a semi-analytical model

Optics 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We present theoretical study of wavelength dependence of mode instability (MI) in high power fiber lasers, which employs an improved semi-analytical theoretical model. The influence of pump / seed wavelength and photodarkening on threshold has been studied. The results indicate promising MI suppression through pumping or seeding at an appropriate wavelength. Small amounts of photodarkening can lead to significant impact on MI.
