چکیده

A new approach to modeling the spatial intensity profile from Porro prism resonators is proposed based on rotating loss screens to mimic the apex losses of the prisms. A numerical model based on this approach is presented which correctly predicts the output transverse field distribution found experimentally from such resonators.

Kaleidoscope modes in large aperture Porro prism resonators.

We apply a new method of modeling Porro prism resonators, using the concept of rotating loss screens, to study stable and unstable Porro prism resonator. We show that the previously observed petal--like modal output is in fact only the lowest order mode, and reveal that a variety of kaleidoscope beam modes will be produced by these resonators when the intra--cavity apertures are sufficiently la...

Study of Effects of Wave Plate Orientation in Cross Porro Prism Diode Pumped Nd:yag Laser Resonators

In this paper the two different configurations of Porro prism resonators using Jones matrix method are studied theoretically. In one of the configurations the Q-switch is kept in the output arm while the gain medium is kept in feedback arm. In the other configuration, Q-switch and gain medium is kept in the feedback arm. The roundtrip Jones matrix for both the configurations are calculated and ...

Method of calculating the alignment tolerance of a Porro prism resonator.

A method of calculating the angular alignment tolerance of a Porro prism laser oscillator is presented. The reduction in mode volume due to misalignment is found by a ray optical approach. An analytical expression for alignment tolerance, in terms of resonator length L, prism azimuth angle theta, rod location L(2), and rod aperture radius alpha is obtained. An experiment was set up to measure t...

Thermoelastic Damping and Frequency Shift in Kirchhoff Plate Resonators Based on Modified Couple Stress Theory With Dual-Phase-Lag Model

The present investigation deals with study of thermoelastic damping and frequency shift of Kirchhoff plate resonators by using generalized thermoelasticity theory of dual-phase-lag model. The basic equations of motion and heat conduction equation are written with the help of Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and dual phase lag model. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping and frequency ...

Second-harmonic-generation-induced optical bistability in prism or grating couplers.

We deal with second-harmonic generation in chi((2)) nonlinear-optical resonators such as prism or grating couplers. The theoretical study is performed within the framework of a recently developed coupled-mode analysis leading to a set of equations governing the amplitudes of pump and second-harmonic frequency fields. We predict analytically that second-harmonic generation in prism or grating co...
