摘要
In this paper, the model to simulate the impact of bend induced mode distortion on the beam quality and mode instability (MI) threshold of fiber amplifier is established, and the results show that the bend induced mode distortion will degrade the beam quality of fiber laser and decrease the MI threshold. The bend induced mode distortion will change the gain of active fiber, then destroy the beam quality of fiber amplifier, and decrease the MI threshold, but the bend loss will suppress high order mode. Therefore, with the decreasing of fiber bend radius, the MI threshold will decrease firstly, and then increase.
