Abstract

GUIAONDAS LASER (10) QUE INCORPORA UNA GUIA (12) Y DOS ESPEJOS RESONADORES CONCAVOS (14, 16). LA GUIA (12) TIENE UNA SECCION CUADRADA CON LATERAL (2A) Y UNA LONGITUD L IGUAL A 4A{SUP,2}/{LA} , DONDE {LA} ES UNA LONGITUD DE ONDA DE FUNCIONAMIENTO LASER. LOS ESPEJOS TIENEN LA FASE EQUILIBRADA AL PERFIL DE INTENSIDAD GAUSSIANO DE LOS HACES RESPECTIVOS DE RADIACION, CON CUELLOS DEL HAZ EN LAS APERTURAS RESPECTIVAS DE LOS EXTREMOS DEL GUIAONDAS (20,22). CADA CUELLO DEL HAZ TIENE UN RADIO WO QUE OSCILA ENTRE 0.1 Y 0.65 PARA EVITAR EFECTOS DE INCLINACION DEL GUIAONDAS Y LA EXCITACION DE MODOS DEL GUIAONDAS DE ALTO NIVEL NO DESEADOS. EL LASER TIENE (10) BUENAS CARACTERISTICAS DE MODO ESPACIAL TRANSVERSAL.
