Abstract
The effects of hard apertures on the transversal mode distribution and on the output near and far field distributions are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Wavefronts propagating in different directions inside a CO2 laser cavity were measured at the same plane and were found to have different transversal amplitude profiles. The influence of intracavity aperture's location and diameter on the near field distribution and on far field beam quality was measured. Good agreement between experimental measurements and numerical calculations were obtained.
