Title: Self-acousto-optic modulation and orthogonality violation in the transverse modes of a broad-area Nd-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet single-shot laser

Abstract

Self-acousto-optic Raman-Nath modulation and nonorthogonal transversal modes are found in a broad-area Nd:YAG single-shot laser. The device is free from the thermal-induced effects previously related to orthogonality violation and the acousto-optic modulation comes from a shock wave produced by the discharge of the flash lamps that optically pump the laser. The experimental findings are reproduced by a general model of a class B laser.
