Due to nonlinear effects and optical damage which limit the power promotion of fiber lasers, large mode area fiber with single mode propagation has aroused wide public interest over recent years. The latest progress of single mode output technology in large mode area fiber is introduced from three aspects including fiber modes filtering, structure design and modes conversion. The development trends of high power fiber lasers are also prospected by comparing these methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
