Introduction |
|
Relative to the general
light source, the laser
has a good directivity,
in other words, the
distribution of light
energy in space is
highly concentrated in
the light propagation
direction. Usually, the
laser resonator emits
the fundamental mode
radiation field, the
cross-section of the
amplitude distribution
follows the Gaussian
function, named
Gaussian beam. In laser
production and
application, it is
necessary to understand
various parameter
indexes of laser beam,
so it is one of the
important experiments in
laser principle to
master laser Gaussian
beam measurement method.
The experiment mainly focuses on the beam quality factor of
Gaussian beams. The
experimental structure
is clear, rich in
content and easy to
operate. The students
can understand the
relevant principles of
laser Gaussian beams and
measure the related
parameters by hands. |
