Popis: International audience; We report the experimental observation of Kerr beam self-cleaning in a graded-index multimode fiber, leading to output beam profiles different from a bell shape, close to the LP 01 mode. For specific light injection conditions, nonlinear coupling among the guided modes can reshape the output speckle pattern generated by a pulsed beam into the low order LP 11 mode. This effect was observed in a few meters-long multimode fiber with 750 ps pulses at 1064 nm in the normal dispersion regime. The power threshold for LP 11 mode self-cleaning was about three times larger than that required for Kerr nonlinear self-cleaning into the LP 01 mode.
