Introduction

Usuallythecross-sectionofamplitudeofelectricalfielddistributioninlaserresonatorcomplieswiththeGaussianfunction.ItisknownastheGaussianbeam.Generally,thelaserresonatordon’tshootexactlyGaussiandistributionbeam.However,theTEM00modeispurelyGaussianbeam.Inthatway,thisexperimentweobservetheintensitydistributionoftheHe-Nelaser.ItisverysimulartoGaussianfunction.AndalsoweusetheGaussianbeamknowledgecalculatethebeamwaistanddivergenceangleinTEM00modeoftheHe-Nelaser.

IntherestofthereportwediscussthereasonofdifferenceinHorizontalandVerticalcalculation.Also,weanalyseandcalculatetheactualpositionofthebeamwaistofHe-Nelaser.

AnalysisofData

WeusetheHorizontaldatatocalculate.For=815mm,wehave=(232-65)×9.0515nm(i.e.=755.80um).For=1385mm,wealso=(284-10)×9.0515um(i.e.=1240.06nm).While,λ=632.8um,π=constant=3.14,andintheairn=constant=1.

Fromequation(9)and(10),easilywecanget=230.37um=0.87mrad.

IntheanalysisweuseHorizontaldatatocalculate,nowinsamewayweusetheVerticaldatatocalculate.In=1385mm,welostsomedata.BecausewehaveVertical(%)=18.47inNo.10andVertical(%)=19.41inNo.11,weassumeit’slinearinshortpointoftheGaussiandistribution.ThenwegetVertical(%)=13.40inNo.8.SamewaywithcalculationofHorizontaldatawecanget=243.11um=0.83mrad.
