Effects of perturbation relative phase on transverse mode instability gain
Effects of perturbation relative phase on transverse mode instability gain
We have shown that the relative phase between the fundamental fiber mode and the transverse perturbation affects significantly the local transverse modal instability (TMI) gain. The gain variation is more pronounced as the core diameter increases. This finding can be used in conjunction with other proposed approaches to develop efficient strategies for mitigating TMI in high power fiber amplifiers and lasers. It also provides some physical insight on the physical origin of the observed large differences in the TMI threshold dependence on core diameter for narrow and broad linewidth operation.

Abstract
We have shown that the relative phase between the fundamental fiber mode and the transverse perturbation affects significantly the local transverse modal instability (TMI) gain. The gain variation is more pronounced as the core diameter increases. This finding can be used in conjunction with other proposed approaches to develop efficient strategies for mitigating TMI in high power fiber amplifiers and lasers. It also provides some physical insight on the physical origin of the observed large differences in the TMI threshold dependence on core diameter for narrow and broad linewidth operation.
