โฆ Synopsis
We demonstrate the influence of transverse structures on the coherent coupling of laser modes. From the Maxwell-Bloch equations in the approximation of a finite mode expansion we derive Adler equations for the relative phases. We use an improved model to describe the gain-induced coupling of two non-orthogonal modes of a solid-state laser. Experimental results for some time-dependent experiments are presented and compared with theoretical predictions of our model.
