Abstract

We use a semi-analytical model considering pump power saturation in high power fiber laser systems of multi-kW-class to calculate mode instability threshold. A novel designed fiber, linear inner-cladding fiber, can mitigate mode instability effect by decreasing nonlinear coupling coefficient and smoothing heat profile along the fiber. We investigate strong pump absorption of linear inner-cladding fiber, leading to shorter fiber length. With 915 nm pumping, linear inner-cladding fiber can reach 10 kW output power without mode instability in theory.
