Generalized beam quality factor of aberrated truncated Gaussian laser beams.
We outline a theory for the calculation of the beam quality factor of an aberrated laser beam. We provide closed-form equations that show that the beam quality factor of an aberrated Gaussian beam depends on all primary aberrations except tilt, defocus, and x-astigmatism. The model is verified experimentally by implementing aberrations as digital holograms in the laboratory.
متن کاملAnalyzing the Propagation Behavior of a Gaussian Laser Beam through Seawater and Comparing with Atmosphere
Study of the beam propagation behavior through oceanic media is a challenging subject. In this paper, based on generalized Collins integral, the mean irradiance profile of Gaussian laser beam propagation through ocean is investigated. Power In Special Bucket (PIB) is calculated. Using analytical expressions and calculating seawater transmission, the effects of absorption and scattering on beam ...
متن کاملLaser and Gaussian Beam Propagation and Transformation
Optical engineers and researchers working on optics deal with laser beams and optical systems as usual tools in their specific areas. The knowledge of the special characteristics of the propagation of laser beams through optical systems has to be one of the keystones of their actual work, and the clear definition of their characteristic parameters has an important impact in the success of the a...
متن کاملBeam quality of a nonideal atom laser.
We study the propagation of a noninteracting atom laser distorted by the strong lensing effect of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from which it is outcoupled. We observe a transverse structure containing caustics that vary with the density within the residing BEC. Using the WKB approximation, Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral formalism, and ABCD matrices, we are able to describe analytically the at...
متن کاملLaser beam-quality/aperture-shape scaling relation.
Many high-energy lasers (HELs) have noncircular output apertures. Some are rectangular in shape with or without a central or noncentral (up to 30%) obscuration. However, most high-energy laser propagation codes (especially those developed for systems analysis) model the aperture as either an unobscured circle or as a circle with fixed (e.g., 10%) obscuration. We present a beam-quality/aperture-...
