Optimization of optical limiting devices based on excited-state absorption.

TL;DR: RSA materials in liquid hosts may suffer from larger thermal lensing, and proper inclusion of diffraction reduces the effectiveness of reverse saturable absorption for limiting, sometimes by more than a factor of 10.

Laser beams and resonators: Beyond the 1960s

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the continuing advances in laser resonators and optical beam propagation that emerged in the decades following the 1960s, growing out of the fundamental concepts from that era reviewed in an earlier paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radial birefringent element and its application to laser resonator design.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-Gaussian profile-transmittance filter based on radially varying the phase retardation in a birefringent element has been proposed to generate an improved resonator spatial-mode profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simple spectral method for solving propagation problems in cylindrical geometry with fast Fourier transforms.

TL;DR: A fourth-order expansion of the exponential evolution operator in a Taylor series gives excellent agreement with a two-transverse-dimensional split-operator calculation at a fraction of the cost in computation time per z step and at a considerable savings in storage.

Simultaneous calculation of Fourier-bessel transforms up to order N

TL;DR: In this paper, the first N Fourier-Bessel transform is computed in the order of 2 LN log 2 N operations and this number is comparable to the operation count corresponding to a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform.
