Abstract:
The present disclosure relates more to mode mixing optical fibers useful, for example in providing optical fiber laser outputs having a desired beam product parameter and beam profile. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a mode mixing optical fiber that includes a core having a refractive index profile; and a cladding disposed about the core. The core of the mode mixing optical fiber supports at least two (e.g., at least five) guided modes at the wavelength. The mode mixing optical fiber is configured to substantially distribute optical radiation having the wavelength propagating therein (e.g., input at its input end or generated or amplified within the core) among a plurality of the guided modes (e.g., to distribute a substantial fraction of the optical radiation having the wavelength propagating therein from its lower-order guided modes to its higher-order guided modes).

Claim (Index 3):
The mode mixing optical fiber according to  claim 1  or  claim 2 , wherein the mode mixing optical fiber can be configured to distribute optical radiation having the wavelength from being substantially guided in the fundamental mode (e.g., at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or even at least 95% in the fundamental mode, preferably at least 90% in the fundamental mode) to being substantially distributed among a plurality of guided modes (e.g., such that at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40% or even at least 50%, preferably at least 50%) of the optical radiation is guided in a mode other than the fundamental mode).
