A Theoretical Analysis of Transverse Mode Control in Waveguide Gas Lasers

Authors: EROL TAŞAL, M. SELAMİ KILIÇKAYA

Abstract: Theoretical of multiple transverse mode laser oscillation involving spatially varying gain and loss are investigated. The effect of gain and loss distribution on mode competition is analyzed. A theoretical analysis of laser transverse mode competition is investigated from the perspective of the spetial overlap of modes with a transverse gain-loss distribution. The dominant mode of laser oscillation is the mode that is stable under small perturbations.

Keywords: Waveguide gas lasers, Two -- mode system, Transverse mode, Gain and loss.
