Experimental observation of long-term output mode shape degradation in pulsed Yb-doped fiber amplifiers is reported for the first time. The process occurs in large mode area Yb-doped fibers and is caused by the formation of the long period grating responsible for power transfer from the fundamental mode to the first high-order mode. The linkage between the process and photodarkening was revealed.
