Abstract

Using transmitting volume Bragg gratings (TVBG) as a basis, an experiment on one-dimensional spatial filtering of a deformed laser beam is designed. The deformed laser beam results from a He-Ne laser beam modulated by an amplitude modulation plate with a spatial frequency of 7.2 mm ?1. Results show that when the central wave vector of the deformed beam satisfies the Bragg law of TVBG, the spatial profile of the -1st forward-diffracted order is similar to that of the undeformed He-Ne laser beam due to the TVBG with a spatial frequency selective bandwidth of less than 5.0 mm?1. The higher frequency components of the deformed beam are filtered out in the optical near field. Thus, the TVBG cleanup of the spatiallydeformed laser beam is realized experimentally.
