    Abstract

    We experimentally investigate intermodal nonlinear interactions, such as Raman scattering and four wave mixing. The fiber used is a specially designed few moded fiber, which splits the degeneracy of the first mode group, leading to stable propagation of the two full vectorial modes, TM01 and TE01. For the Raman experiments pumping occur in either the fundamental mode or the two full vectorial modes, whereas the signal is in the fundamental mode. In all three experiments approximately 40 dB of gain is achieved using 307 W of pump peak power. When pumping in either of the full vectorial modes four wave mixing is observed.
