Influence of crystal orientation on coupling between orthogonal modes in a Nd: YAG Laser

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We report a drastic coupling reduction between orthogonal modes of a Nd:YAG laser when the gain crystal is cut along the <100> axis instead of <111>. Our measurements are accurately described by a simple theoretical model.
