Abstract
Transverse mode instability (TMI) limits power scaling of fiber lasers. A semianalytical model is established to calculate the TMI threshold in high-power fiber laser systems of the multi-kW-class. A linear inner-cladding fiber can mitigate the TMI effect by smoothing the heat profile and decreasing the nonlinear coupling coefficient along the fiber. We investigate strong pump absorption of a linear inner-cladding fiber, which leads to shorter fiber length. Utilizing a 915-nm copumping scheme, the linear inner-cladding fiber can realize 10-kW output power in single-mode regime theoretically.
