? circle can be used to determine the change of the wave-front and curvature when wave propagate. Homework A laser cavity with two mirrors, M1, M2, and one gain medium, which can be thought as a thin lens whose focal length f changes with pump intensity, The radius are R1, and R2 respectively, the total cavity length is L, length between M1 and lens is L1, the length between M2 and lens is L2 Give the condition when the cavity is stable (R1,R2,L1,L2) give the beam radius at the mirrors, and the waist of the Guassian beam. Draw the relative figures to explain more clearly Hint You can use either matrix theory or transformation circle theory Use your computer to help you If you think it is more than complicated, suppose the L1=0 * Graphic Analysis and Design Method of Optical Resonator 1.Propagation characteristic of Gaussian beam 2.Propagation-circle graphic analysis method 1.Graphic analysis method of two-mirror resonator 2.Graphic analysis method of equivalent two-mirror resonator Theoretical foundation Simple application 3.Mode image theory 1.Propagation characteristic of Gaussian beam Theoretical foundation The electric field intensity in z direction is: In which Basic parameters describing a Gaussian beam 2.Propagation-circle graphic analysis method We introduce beam parameter Then The relation of z、b0 and R described by this equation can also be described by graph Geometry relating center of curvature (C) and radius of curvature (R) at point A to the location (O) and magnitude (beam parameter b) of the beam waist Laterial Focal Points (1). circle Radius of the wave-front is equal to the diameter of the ? circle . Propagation-circle: σ circle and π circle Circles through laterial focal points Fl，Fl’ and a point at the optical axis The changes of R and w with the propagation of the Gaussian beam (2). The circles through lateral point Fl ，and be tangent with Optical axis The diameter b of the p circle can be used to determine the waist of the Gua
