摘要
We report here an ultra-broadband linearly polarized(LP)LP01-LP11 mode converter operating at 1μm based on a long period fiber grating(LPFG)fabricated in a conventional two-mode fiber(TMF)by a line-focused CO2 laser.The measured 3d B bandwidth is about 240 nm,which is the broadest bandwidth for such fiber mode converters.The maximum conversion efficiency between the LP01 and LP11 modes is>99%over the range of 1000 nm to 1085 nm,almost covering the whole emission band of Yb3+,which is useful for further power scaling of high-power fiber lasers operating at the 1μm band.
