Nonlinear polarization dynamics of Kerr beam self-cleaning in a graded-index multimode optical fiber

Nonlinear polarization dynamics of Kerr beam self-cleaning in a graded-index multimode optical fiber

We experimentally study polarization dynamics of Kerr beam self-cleaning in a graded-index multimode optical fiber. We show that spatial beam cleaning is accompanied by nonlinear polarization rotation and a significant increase of the degree of linear polarization.
