We present a coupled-mode model of transverse mode instability in high-power fiber amplifiers, which takes the effect of gain saturation into account. The model provides simple semi-analytical formulas for the mode instability threshold, which are valid also for highly saturated amplifiers. The model is compared to recently published detailed numerical simulations of mode instability, and we find reasonably good agreement with our simplified coupled-mode model.
