Waveguide Laser Mode Patterns in the Near and Far Field

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The difference in notations used by researchers in the dielectric waveguide field and those primarily interested in waveguide lasers is discussed, and the equations for the field components of the various modes in large radius hollow dielectric waveguides are rederived in terms of the more widely used notation. Certain linear combinations of these modes that give linearly polarized field distributions are then considered to be launched into free-space at a waveguide termination. The resultant Fresnel and Fraunhofer field distributions are useful in identifying the modes of oscillation and in choosing mirror apertures that will restrict oscillation on the fundamental waveguide mode.
