Three-dimensional field structure in open unstable resonators Part I: Passive cavity results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-dimensional field distribution of the diffractive cavity mode structure in a passive, open, unstable resonator is presented as a function of the equivalent Fresnel number of the cavity. The qualitative structure of this intracavity field distribution, including the central intensity core (or oscillator filament), is characterized in terms of the Fresnel zone structure that is defined over the cavity feedback aperture. Previous related research is reviewed.

Three-dimensional field structure in open unstable cavities Part II: Active cavity results.
The three-dimensional field distribution of the diffractive cavity mode structure in an active, open, unstable laser resonator is presented as a function of the equivalent Fresnel number of the cavity. The active cavity mode structures are compared to that of the corresponding passive cavity so that the effects of a spatially extended, homogeneously broadened, saturable gain medium on the cavit...
متن کاملUnstable cavity lasers – from kaleidoscopes to snowflakes
Unstable cavity lasers have linear resonators with inherent magnification whose mode patterns possess fractal characteristics (proportional levels of detail across decimal orders of spatial scale) [1]. The origin of fractality in strip resonators has been explained by considering repeated diffraction of the circulating field at the feedback mirror (which subsequently plays a key role in determi...
متن کاملPlasmonic coaxial waveguide-cavity devices.
We theoretically investigate three-dimensional plasmonic waveguide-cavity structures, built by side-coupling stub resonators that consist of plasmonic coaxial waveguides of finite length, to a plasmonic coaxial waveguide. The resonators are terminated either in a short or an open circuit. We show that the properties of these waveguide-cavity systems can be accurately described using a single-mo...
متن کاملModal Analysis of Semiconductor Lasers with Nonplanar Mirrors
Ahstruct-We preseni a formalism for analyzing laser resonators which possdss nonplanar mirrors and iateral waveguiding [e.g., an unstable resonator semiconductor laser (URSL)]. The electric field is expdnded iii lateral modes of the complex-iridex waveguide and is required to rbproduce itself after, one roundtrip of the cavity. We show how the waveguide modes, their gain and loss, and hence the...
متن کاملA Comparative Solution of Natural Convection in an Open Cavity using Different Boundary Conditions via Lattice Boltzmann Method
A Lattice Boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. The Prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, Rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. On-Grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...
