Analyzing modal contents of arbitrary beams from optical fiber provides useful information for high-power fiber laser and mode-division-multiplexed optical communication. Numerical modal decomposition can be applied to diverse applications universally without complicated setup, but often leads to a false solution which is called as a local minimum. We propose several ways to solve this issue and compare the results to find the best way for global optimization based on stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm.
