MODANS—OPTICAL ELEMENTS FOR ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF LASER MODE STRUCTURE

I. N. Sisakyan, V. A. Soifer

Abstract:
ТЕМ mode analysers, or modans, constitute a new class of optical elements synthesized by applying computer optics technology. The early elements of this class were developed in 1982. Ways are considered to improve the technology of modan generation with an eye to expanding the functional capabilities of these elements. Analytical relationships are presented for amplitude and phase modans and supported experimentally. A more detailed consideration is given to the type of modans matched with the Laguerre-Gaussian modes and their application to optical-fibre transducers.
