Propagation effects in variable-reflectivity resonators.
A numerical model predicts the beam profile of solid-state variable-reflectivity resonators, taking into account diffraction, gain saturation, and stored energy depletion. An experimental analysis of propagation effects shows that the beam profile in the intermediate field is extremely sensitive to residual diffraction effects in the resonator.
