Patent number: 10630040Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: NufernInventors: Clemence Jollivet, Kevin Farley, Jaroslaw Abramczyk, Michael Conroy, Kanishka Tankala, Peyman Ahmadi, Eric Lim
