Laser Scanner

Lasing Conditions

Theory of Laser

General Optical Resonator and Laser Transverse Mode

Gaussian Beam

Gaussian Beam (Cont’)

Laser Longitudinal Mode Optical resonance: where λ: wavelength of the resonating frequency, L: length of the cavity, m : an integral Eg. laser diode : cavity length = 300  m; AlGaAs : gap wavelength  800nm How many wavelength will fit into the cavity ?

Multi-(Longitudinal) Mode Laser Cavity resonance frequency Spacing between the adjacent frequency ( frequency spacing ) Wavelength spacing 0 : free space value of the wavelength v: velocity of the wave in cavity c : speed of light n : refractive index of cavity material

Eg. Laser diode : cavity length = 300  m refractive index = 3.6 ; line width of the cavity = 2 nm peak radiating wavelength 0 = 800 nm Find output spectrum from the laser frequency spacing: wavelength spacing: mode number:

Laser Safety Rules 1) Wear special goggles 2) Never looking the primary laser beam or into the specular reflection of a beam 3) Higher power beams should be terminated 4) Skin protection should be worn at higher power levels ( e.q. heavy white cloth ) 5) Special precaution for invisible laser beam
