Title: Transverse mode control in solid state lasers

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7256872

This patent describes a solid state laser. It comprises a solid state body including an optical resonator, a waveguide in which laser radiation propagates in TE and TM modes. The radiation being incident on a region of a first surface of the body, characterized by a reflection filter disposed on the first surface so as to preferentially reflect either TE or TM modes and to suppress oscillation within the resonator of the non-reflected modes.
