Author:Naidoo, Darryl; Forbes, A; Aït-Ameur, K; Brunel, MDate:Jan 2011An experimental approach in generating Petal-like transverse modes, which are similar to what is seen in porro-prism resonators, has been successfully demonstrated. We hypothesize that the petal-like structures are generated from a coherent ...Read more
Author:Naidoo, Darryl; Aït-Ameur, K; Brunel, M; Forbes, ADate:2012In this paper we demonstrate experimentally the intra-cavity generation of a coherent superposition of Laguerre–Gaussian modes of zero radial order but opposite azimuthal order. The superposition is created with a simple intra-cavity stop ...Read more
