摘要
We present theoretical study of wavelength dependence of mode instability (MI) in high power fiber lasers, which employs an improved semi-analytical theoretical model. The influence of pump/seed wavelength and photodarkening on threshold has been studied. The results indicate promising MI suppression through pumping or seeding at an appropriate wavelength. Small amounts of photodarkening can lead to a significant impact on MI.
