Numerical Simulation of High-Order-Mode Generation in a Plano-Concave Resonator with a Cavity Mirror Bearing a Nonreflective Band
摘要
A formula based on the Fresnel–Kirchhoff diffraction integral formula, which yields the self-reproducing mode of a plano-concave resonator with a nonreflective band on the cavity mirror, was derived and converted into a discrete numerical integral. The Fox–Li iterative method was then used to obtain the self-reproducing mode of the resonator. The results reveal that the nonreflective band transforms the laser mode from the fundamental Hermite–Gaussian (HG) mode to a distributional characteristic that resembles that of high-order HG modes, albeit with minor differences. Therefore, placement of a straight non-reflective band on the cavity mirror of a plano-concave resonator conveniently generates laser field distributions with features of high-order modes.
