FIGURE 1. Shown at left is the fiber cross-section (top) and refractive index profile (bottom) for a feeding fiber with three guiding regions. Simulations (right) show the beam profile coupled into the guiding regions for different perturbation conditions. The beam homogenizes azimuthally as it propagates in the fiber.

A newly developed fiber laser provides real-time tunability of beam characteristics directly from the laser output fiber using an all-fiber mechanism.
