Active transverse mode control and optimization of an all-solid-state laser using an intracavity adaptive-optic mirror.
A 37 element adaptive optic mirror has been used intracavity to control the oscillation mode profile of a diode-laser pumped Nd:YVO4 laser. Mode and power optimisation are demonstrated by closed loop automatic optimisation of the deformable mirror.
