Theoretical research on InnoSlab output beam quality with hybrid resonator

Abstract

Output beam quality of InnoSlab laser with hybrid resonator is analyzed in this paper for the thermal lens effect and mirror misalignment. Many aspects, such as far-field light intensity distribution, far-field divergence angle, beam waist radius, beam quality factor M2 and PIB curve, etc, are discussed. Especially, in the off-axis unstable resonator direction, the influence of beam quality is discussed with respect to mirror misalignment by M2 and PIB curve. This gives valuable reference to unstable resonator beam quality evaluation, for which a unified standard has not been set up as yet.
