“…Sanderson Except for the work of Santana and Felsen most of the previous calculations were based on the scalar theory of diffraction and the Fresnel approximation. A variety of techniques were applied to find losses in infinite strip unstable optical resonators, including the case of large Fresnel numbers by Rahnavard [9]. These techniques were: exact physical optics, physical optics using the Fresnel approximation, physical theory of diffraction, scalar theory of diffraction, and conventional geometrical theory of diffraction.…”

We calculate the magnitude and phase of the electric field (eigenfunctions) in infinite‐strip, unstable optical resonators which are used in medium‐to‐high power lasers. In this paper physical optics (PO), scalar theory of diffraction (STD), physical theory of diffraction (PTD), approximate physical optics (POA), and geometrical theory of diffraction plus geometrical optics (GTD + GO) methods are used to compute the magnitude and phase of the electric field in infinite‐strip, unstable optical resonators. The results of these different methods are compared. The calculated power loss using eigenvalues corresponding to the calculated electric field (eigenfunctions) are in agreement with previously published calculations.

“…Because of the coupling between them, causing SOP fluctuations at the receiver end, such a characteristic determines, in conventional systems, a performance degradation. In order to achieve SOP fluctuation insensitive systems several schemes have been proposed such as polarization diversity [9], polarization scrambling [lo], and adaptive polarization control [5, 71. In this paper a new coherent optical system is presented which allows complete exploitation of the fiber transmission capacity due to the presence of two orthogonal polarization modes.…”
