Observation of Ince–Gaussian modes in stable resonators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of Ince–Gaussian modes directly generated in a stable resonator. By slightly breaking the symmetry of the cavity of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser and its pump beam configuration we were able to generate single high-order Ince–Gaussian modes of high quality. The observed transverse modes have an inherent elliptic structure and exhibit remarkable agreement with theoretical predictions.
