Abstract
In order to guarantee the information of the W-band wireless communication system from the physical layer, this paper proposes the sliced chaotic encrypted (SCE) transmission scheme based on key masked distribution (KMD). The scheme improves the security of free space communication in the W-band millimeter-wave wireless data transmission system. In this scheme, the key information is embedded into the random position of the ciphertext information, and then the ciphertext carrying the key information is encrypted by multi-dimensional chaos. Chaotic system 1 constructs a three-dimensional discrete chaotic map for implementing KMD. Chaotic system 2 constructs complex nonlinear dynamic behavior through the coupling of two neurons, and the masking factor generated is used to realize SCE. In this paper, the transmission of 16QAM signals in a 4.5 m W-band millimeter-wave wireless communication system with a rate of 40 Gb/s is proved by experiments, and the performance of the system is analyzed. When the input optical power is 5 dBm, the bit error rate (BER) of the legitimate encrypted receiver is 1.23 × 10-3. When the offset of chaotic sequence x and chaotic sequence y is 100, their BERs are more than 0.21. The key space of the chaotic system reaches 10192, which can effectively prevent illegal attacks and improve the security performance of the system. The experimental results show that the scheme can effectively distribute the keys and improve the security of the system. It has great application potential in the future of W-band millimeter-wave wireless secure communication.

Abstract
The mode decomposition based on matrix operation (MDMO) is one of the fastest mode decomposition (MD) techniques, which is important to the few-mode fiber laser characterization and its applications. In this paper, the general error of the MDMO technique was analyzed, where different influencing factors, such as position deviation of the optical imaging system, coordinate deviation of the image acquisition system, aberrations, and mode distortion were considered. It is found that the MDMO technique based on far-field intensity distribution is less affected by optical imaging system position deviation, coordinate deviation of the image acquisition system, and mode distortion than those based on direct near-field decomposition. But far-field decomposition is more affected by aberration than those based on near-field decomposition. In particular, the numerical results show that the deviation of the coordinate axis direction is an important factor limiting the accuracy of MD. In addition, replacing the ideal eigenmode basis with a distorted eigenmode basis can effectively suppress the decrease in mode decomposition accuracy caused by fiber bending. Moreover, based on detailed numerical analysis results, fitting formulas for estimating the accuracy of the MDMO technique with imperfections are also provided, which provides a comprehensive method for evaluating the accuracy of the MDMO technique in practical engineering operations.

Abstract
A superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) is a special fiber source that commonly possesses high temporal stability and a wide spectral linewidth. In this work, an all-fiberized linearly polarized SFS with, to our knowledge, record output power and near-diffraction-limited beam quality is presented. Up to 5.03 kW SFS is achieved at a pump power of 6.18 kW with a corresponding conversion efficiency of ∼81.1%. At maximum output power, the signal-to-noise ratio to background spectral noise is over 50 dB, the polarization extinction ratio is ∼17d B, and the beam quality factor is M x 2=1.49, M y 2=1.44. Further comparisons confirm the power scalability of fiber amplifiers employing SFSs as seed lasers. Overall, this work could provide a good reference for potential exploration of high-power fiber laser systems.

Abstract
In this work, the impact of fiber bending and mode content on transverse mode instability (TMI) is investigated. Based on a modified stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering (STRS) model considering the gain competition between transverse modes, we theoretically detailed the TMI threshold under various mode content and bending conditions in few-mode fibers. Our theoretical calculations demonstrate that larger bending diameters increase the high order mode (HOM) components in the amplifier, which in turn reduces the frequency-shifted Stokes LP11o mode due to the inter-mode gain competition mechanism, thus improving the TMI threshold of few-mode amplifiers. The experimental results agree with the simulation. Finally, by optimizing the bending, an 8.38 kW output tandem pumped fiber amplifier is obtained with a beam quality M2 of 1.8. Both TMI and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) are well suppressed at the maximum power. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the TMI in few-mode amplifiers and offers a practical method to realize high-power high-brightness fiber lasers.

Abstract
High-power fiber laser amplifiers have enabled an increasing range of applications in industry, science, and defense. The power scaling for fiber amplifiers is currently limited by transverse mode instability. Most techniques for suppressing the instability are based on single- or few-mode fibers in order to output a clean collimated beam. Here, we study theoretically using a highly multimode fiber amplifier with many-mode excitation for efficient suppression of thermo-optical nonlinearity and instability. We find that the mismatch of characteristic length scales between temperature and optical intensity variations across the fiber generically leads to weaker thermo-optical coupling between fiber modes. Consequently, the transverse mode instability (TMI) threshold power increases linearly with the number of equally excited modes. When the frequency bandwidth of a coherent seed laser is narrower than the spectral correlation width of the multimode fiber, the amplified light maintains high spatial coherence and can be transformed to any target pattern or focused to a diffraction-limited spot by a spatial mask at either the input or output end of the amplifier. Our method simultaneously achieves high average power, narrow spectral width, and good beam quality, which are required for fiber amplifiers in various applications.

Abstract
Mode decomposition (MD) based on the matrix operation (MDMO) is one of the fastest mode decomposition methods in fiber laser which has great potential for optical communications, nonlinear optics and spatial characterization applications. However, we found that the image noise sensitivity is the main limit to the accuracy of the original MDMO method, but improving the decomposition accuracy by using conventional image filtering methods is almost ineffective. By using the norm theory of matrices, the analysis result shows that both the image noise and the coefficient matrix condition number determine the total upper-bound error of the original MDMO method. Besides, the greater the condition number, the more sensitive of MDMO method is to noise. In addition, it is found that the local error of each mode information solution in the original MDMO method is different, which depends on the L2-norm of each row vector of the inverse coefficient matrix. Moreover, a more noise-insensitive MD method is achieved by screening out the information corresponding to large L2-norm. In particular, selecting the higher accuracy among the original MDMO method and such noise-insensitive method as the result in a single MD process, a strong anti-noise MD method was proposed in this paper, which displays high MD accuracy in strong noise for both near-filed and far-filed MD cases.

Abstract
In this manuscript, a narrow linewidth fiber amplifier based on confined-doped fiber is established, and the power scaling and beam quality maintaining capabilities of this amplifier are investigated. Benefitted from the large mode area of the confined-doped fiber and precisely controlling the Yb-doped region in the fiber core, the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and transverse mode instability (TMI) effects are effectively balanced. As a result, a 1007 W signal laser with just 1.28 GHz linewidth is obtained by combining the advantages of confined-doped fiber, near-rectangular spectral injection, and 915 nm pump manner. As far as we know, this result is the first beyond kilowatt-level demonstration of all-fiber lasers with GHz-level linewidth, which could provide a well reference for simultaneously controlling spectral linewidth, suppressing the SBS and TMI effects in high-power, narrow-linewidth fiber lasers.

Abstract
Coherent beam combining (CBC) of a fiber laser can scale the output power while maintaining high beam quality. However, phase detection and control remain a challenge for a high-power CBC system with a massive laser array. This paper provides a novel, to the best of our knowledge, cascaded phase-control technique based on internal phase detection and control, called the cascaded internal phase-control technique. The principle of the technique was introduced in detail, and the numerical simulations were carried out based on the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The results indicated that the cascaded internal phase-control technique was compatible with the massive laser array. Compared with the traditional CBC based on the SPGD algorithm, the control bandwidth could be improved effectively about seven times (120 steps) than the traditional SPGD algorithm (830 steps). Furthermore, the average root mean square of residual phase error was decreased to 0.03 rad (∼λ/209) with a laser array of 259 channels (7∗37), which was 0.36 rad (∼λ/17) in the traditional SPGD algorithm. In addition, the element expanding capacity was analyzed. Since there is no large-aperture optical device in the phase-detection system, this technique has the advantage of freely designing the caliber of the laser emitting system. This paper could offer a reference for the high-power massive laser array system design and phase control.

Abstract
In this work, the influence of four-wave mixing (FWM) effects on the transverse mode instability (TMI) is incorporated into the TMI model based on stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering. The model is capable of analyzing the gain characteristics of different high-power fiber amplifiers, based on which the physical mechanism and functioning boundary of FWM are theoretically investigated. Consequently, a new TMI threshold formula is defined to resolve the inconsistencies in the previous TMI models. It is revealed that it is extremely necessary to consider the influence of FWM on TMI in ultra-large mode field laser systems.

Abstract
In this paper, we realize a 3.96 kW all-fiberized and polarization-maintained (PM) amplifier with narrow linewidth and near-diffraction-limited beam quality. Based on a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration seeded with phase-modulated single-frequency laser, a 3.96 kW signal laser is achieved with a 3 dB linewidth of 0.62 nm at the pump power of 5.02 kW. At the maximum output power, the polarization extinction ratio (PER) is ~13.9 dB, and the beam quality (M2 factor) is M2x = 1.31, M2y = 1.41. As far as we know, this is the maximum output power of PM narrow linewidth fiber laser with near-diffraction-limited beam quality and all-fiber format.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a block compressive sensing (BCS) based chaotic embedded encryption scheme for multi-core fiber orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MCF-OFDM) system. BCS technology is used to recover the entire desired information from the small amounts of data. Meanwhile, a four-dimensional discrete chaotic encryption model generates four masking factors, which are respectively used for coefficient random permutation (CRP), measurement matrix, diffusion and singular value decomposition (SVD) embedding to achieve ultra-high security encryption of four different dimensions. In terms of compressive sensing, CRP can make the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient distribute randomly to improve the sampling efficiency of BCS. Compared with the data without compressive sensing, the data volume is reduced by 75%. In chaotic encryption, SVD technology embeds secret images of noise-like after initial encryption into carrier images to generate encrypted images with visual security. The key space reaches 10120 and it realizes the dual protection of source image data and external representation. The proposed scheme using a 2km 7-core optical fiber achieves a 78.75 Gb/s transmission of encrypted OFDM signals. The received optical power is greater than -14 dBm, and the bit error rate (BER) of core1-core7 is lower than 10-3. When the compression ratio sets to 0.25 and the attack range of encrypted data is up to 30%, the image can still recover the outline and general information. The experimental results show that this scheme can improve the security performance and reduce the complexity of information transmission system. Furthermore, the scheme combines The BCS chaotic embedded encryption technology with MCF-OFDM system, which has a good application prospect in the future optical networks.
