Tuneable Gaussian to flat-top resonator by amplitude beam shaping.
We outline a simple laser cavity comprising an opaque ring and a circular aperture that is capable of producing spatially tuneable laser modes, from a Gaussian beam to a Flat-top beam. The tuneability is achieved by varying the diameter of the aperture and thus requires no realignment of the cavity. We demonstrate this principle using a digital laser with an intra-cavity spatial light modulator...
متن کاملBeam shaping using Gaussian beam modes.
A beam shaping method is presented where a diffractive optical element (DOE) is designed by optimizing the complex mode coefficient weights of a set of Gaussian beam modes. This method is compared with the more standard unidirectional approach. Differential evolution is used for the optimization in both the unidirectional and Gaussian beam mode optimization methods. For the particular transform...
متن کاملOptical nutation in a gaussian beam resonator
2014 We examine the transient behaviour of a plane-spherical resonator driven by a continuous wave and filled by an optically thin gas which is suddenly switched on exact resonance with the driving field. Contrary to previous treatments, the axial and transversal field distributions and the molecular motions through the standing wave are taken into account. This is achieved by projecting the in...
متن کاملFlat top beam profile cavity prototype
Mirror thermal noise is one of the fundamental factors limiting the sensitivity of gravitational wave interferometric detectors. Classical Gaussian beams “interrogate” only a small fraction of the mirror surface, and therefore are not well suited to average out fluctuations and minimize the thermal noise. It has been calculated that flat beam profiles would be better suited to average over ther...
متن کاملAxially symmetric on-axis flat-top beam.
A synthesis method for arbitrary on-axis intensity distributions from axially symmetric fields is developed in the paraxial approximation. As an important consequence, a new pseudo-nondiffracting beam, the axially symmetric on-axis flat-top beam (AFTB), is given by an integral transform form. This AFTB is completely determined by three simple parameters: the central spatial frequency S(c), the ...
