We model the transverse mode interaction in a large-mode-area fiber amplifier by solving the Fresnel wave equation including local gain saturation. In order to calculate the electric field distribution we apply a finite difference beam propagation method, which is followed by the derivation of the modal powers and modal polarization states. A polarization dependent mode amplification is found that is in good agreement with recent experimental results.
