Abstract
A Gaussian-reflectivity mirror resonator is proposed to achieve high-quality laser beams. To analyze the laser fields in a Gaussian-reflectivity mirror resonator, the diffraction integral equations of a Gaussian-reflectivity mirror resonator are converted to the finite-sum matrix equations. Consequently, according to the Fox-Li laser self-reproducing principle, we describe the mode fields and their losses in the proposed resonator as eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a transfer matrix. The conclusion can be drawn from the numerical results that, if a Gaussian-reflectivity mirror is adopted for a plano-concave resonator, a fundamental mode can easily be obtained from a transverse-flow CO2 laser and high-quality laser beams can be expected.
