    We developed a compact, stable laser resonator using an auxiliary lens or mirror. This design improves laser mode volume and stability, making it insensitive to mechanical disturbances for applications like diode-pumped solid-state lasers.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Physics
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Designing stable laser resonators is crucial for consistent laser performance.
    • Traditional resonators can be sensitive to mechanical vibrations and misalignments.
    • Achieving a large fundamental mode volume (TEM00) is often desired for efficient laser operation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a novel, compact, and dynamically stable resonator design for single-rod lasers.
    • To investigate the use of auxiliary lenses or mirrors to enhance resonator stability and mode characteristics.
    • To evaluate the performance of three- and four-element resonator configurations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an auxiliary intracavity element (divergent lens or convex mirror) in resonator design.

  • Investigated the effect of divergent and convergent intracavity elements on resonator stability and mode volume.
  • Designed and experimentally tested three- and four-element resonators.
  • Employed a diode-pumped Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for testing.

    • Main Results:

    • An intracavity divergent element was found to be effective for achieving a large TEM00-mode volume.
    • An intracavity convergent element significantly improved the resonator's insensitivity to mechanical misalignment.
    • A reliable and compact dynamically stable resonator was successfully designed and demonstrated.
    • Both three- and four-element resonator designs proved effective.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed auxiliary lens/mirror method offers a convenient way to design compact, dynamically stable laser resonators.
    • This approach enhances both the fundamental mode volume and mechanical stability of the laser resonator.
    • The findings are applicable to diode-pumped solid-state lasers, such as Nd:YAG systems.
