Experimental observation of a novel effect of long-term mode shape degradation in a high peak power ytterbium-doped pulsed fiber lasers based on large mode area step-index fibers has been reported for the first time. It is shown, that the degradation is caused by power coupling from LP01 to LP11 mode, occurring on a long period refractive index grating (LPG) formed in the active fiber core. The photo-darkening process was found to play a significant role in the formation of a LPG.
