Abstract

Selection of modes containing different dark regions was studied in resonators with conical reflectors. The possibility of selecting whole subgroups of such modes was shown in circularly symmetric resonators. To handle single-mode selection employing extra intracavity spatial filters, modified integral equations and a numerical method of their analysis are proposed. Usage of the filter symmetry reduces the size of the four-dimensional matrices corresponding to the equation kernels, and they are analyzed by algorithms for two-dimensional matrices with the best convergence. The optimum resonator parameters for effective selection of different dark modes are found.
