Abstract
In this work, a numerical modal decomposition approach is applied to model the optical field of laser light after propagating through a highly multi-mode fiber. The algorithm for the decomposition is based on the reconstruction of measured intensity profiles along the laser beam caustic with consideration of intermodal degrees of coherence derived from spectral analysis. To enhance the accuracy of the model, different approaches and strategies are applied and discussed. The presented decomposition into a set of linearly polarized modes enables both the wave-optical simulation of radiation transport by highly multi-mode fibers and, additionally, the analysis of free-space propagation with arbitrarily modified complex amplitude distributions.
