Abstract
In this paper, we present the production of intense pico-second vortex pulses by selectively coupling a pico-second master laser into LP11 modes in a stressed large mode-area fiber amplifier with an off-axis fiber injection method, for the first time. In particular, this method is capable of directly producing amplified intense pico-second vortex pulses from a simple fiber amplifier without any phase elements.
