Description
The oscillating mode in laser resonators is dual-directional between the mirrors. Theory describing the field distributions of the beam are compared and supplemented experimentally. The superposition of two Laguerre-Gaussian modes of opposite azimuthal order allows cylindrical “petal” modes to occur. These modes are achieved experimentally and compared to numerical simulations.
