Elliptical polarization and nonorthogonality of stabilized Zeeman laser output

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper gives both theoretical and experimental proof of elliptical polarization and nonorthogonality of Zeeman laser output. It verifies that the polarized modes of the output have 4–7° orthogonal error which is induced by anisotropy in the laser cavity. A new formula for calculation of this orthogonal error has been derived which also provides a way to measure the anisotropy of the laser cavity. We also discuss the influence of nonorthogonality on the spectrum of the laser.
