Abstract
A straightforward method for converting the symmetry of a diode end-pumped laser with an annular pump beam has been proposed. By introducing an étalon into the cavity, we observed a change in the spatial symmetry of the transverse mode profile from rectangular to cylindrical both in degenerate and non-degenerate ranges. A simulation of the transmittance distribution of the beam through the étalon after filtering is given. Our experimental results indicate that this method of altering the symmetry maintains relative stability during the tilting of the étalon.
