Abstract
Mode content measurements with a scanning ring cavity were performed in order to determine the mode content of the output beam profile of a resonantly enhanced leakage channel fiber. The measurements were performed at 1.0 and 1.5 μm. In addition, the influence of different bending diameters as well as launching conditions has been investigated. Furthermore, a numerical simulation was used to determine the maximum theoretical overlap, if only the fundamental fiber mode is guided. The simulation was also used to analyze how the overlap for the case of any additional higher order fiber mode can be determined consistently.
