contents We report an efficient experimental method for generating high-order Laguerre-Gauss (HOLG) modes by simply coupling a Gaussian beam into the cladding of a multimode fiber (MMF). In particular, the order of the HOLG mode remains invariant with respect to input power, propagation distance, and pulse duration. Furthermore, spectral and power measurements confirm that the beam-shaping mechanism is predominantly linear, whereas Kerr nonlinearity primarily affects the longitudinal phase-matching condition and conversion efficiency, without altering the generated mode order. Altogether, these findings establish our approach as a highly robust and scalable platform for generating tailored optical beams.
