Bent-waveguide modeling of large-mode-area, double-clad fibers for high-power lasers

Ronald Hadley, G.; Farrow, Roger L.; Smith, A.V.

We have developed analytical and numerical models to address propagation of light through bent fiber amplifiers, including the mode distortion that results from fiber bending, and changes in beam profile resulting from self-focusing. © 2005 Optical Society of America.
