Diffraction losses and selection of transverse modes in complex resonators

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Diffraction losses are estimated for TEM00, TEM01, and TEM10 modes which can be generated in complex resonators. Dependences of the output power of the laser operating in the regime of transverse oscillation suppression on the transmission of the mirror are obtained. Optimal relationships between the field stop aperture area and the optical beam cross section are determined as functions of the gain of the active medium.
