Investigation of the Spatial Homogenity of High Frequency Excited Laser Discharges

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The intensity distribution of a laser beam is determined by resonator geometry as well as the characteristics of the active medium. The influence of the active medium on the intensity distribution has been investigated theoretically and experimentally by several authors /1–3/. They found out that an inhomogeneous spatial gain distribution may influence the mode selection of longitudinal and transversal modes /2,3/.
