  • Abstract
    We present numerical and experimental investigations to determine the effect of such surface height deviations of the intra-cavity binary phase elements inserted into an Nd-YAG laser and the selection of the Laguerre-Gaussian (0,1) (LG01) and Laguerre-Gaussian (0,2) (LG02) degenerated modes.
