Abstract
In this report, by comparing the RIN and beam pointing error of the signal laser at different output powers, the impact of the modal degeneration on both the spacial and temporal noise properties of high-power single-frequency fiber amplifiers will be demonstrated. The new finding reveal that obvious mode-related enhancement of the RIN could occur well below the conventional transverse mode instability (TMI) threshold of the fiber amplifier while the mode-related enhancement of the beam pointing error occurs near the TMI threshold. This work could provide a new insight for obtaining high-power, high spacial stability and low-noise single-frequency fiber lasers.
