Towards the Enhancement of the TMI Threshold in Monolithic High-Power Fiber System by Controlling the Pump Distribution and the Seed Power

In recent years, the transverse mode instability (TMI) has been a main limiting factor of average power scalability of high-power fiber lasers with near-diffraction-limited beam quality. A number of strategies in experimental or theoretical scopes have been proposed to mitigate the TMI, especially i...
