Apodized Aperture for High-Peak Power Near-Infrared and Visible Lasers Without Phase Shift at the Edges

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Apodized apertures (AA) are used in laser physics for following purposes:[1–3] avoiding hard-edge Fresnel diffraction ripples in beam cross-section; generation diffraction limited beams without side-lobes, diminishing beam divergence in single-mode lasing by using AA inside the resonator; increasing the second harmonic conversion efficiency; compensation of pumping-inhomogenety in active elements; experiments of interaction of laser radiation with matter, which require Gaussian or super-Gaussian spatial intensity profiles, etc.
