Abstract
We evaluate the eigenfields of an unstable Bessel–Gauss resonator (UBGR) by use of the transfer-matrix method in which the transverse profiles and their corresponding losses of the UBGR are considered as the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a transfer matrix so that the dominant mode fields and their losses of the UBGR can be readily extracted in terms of the matrix eigenvalue algorithm. Moreover, based on the eigenfields across two mirrors that resulted from the transfer-matrix method, we simulate the field distributions in the cavity and the propagation of output beams by means of the angular spectrum method. The computation results show that the UBGR easily produces a fundamental Bessel–Gauss mode of good quality, and the output beams retain the original Bessel–Gauss distribution during propagation.
