“…High power solid-state lasers have been exploited in applications, such as remote sensing, ultrafast spectroscopy, laser precision materials processing, and laser weapons applications [1]. These lasers were first realized as flash lamp pumped solid-state lasers which progressed into diode-pumped systems due to the remarkable advantages over lamp-pumped systems: higher efficiency, better frequency stability, higher brightness than diode lasers themselves, and a more compact design due to the cooling geometries [2].…”

In this paper we experimentally demonstrate the intracavity generation of selected Laguerre-Gaussian modes of variable radial order, from 0 to 5. Our technique requires only an amplitude mask made up of absorbing rings to be placed inside the cavity, with the ring radii selected to coincide with the zeros of the desired Laguerre-Gaussian mode. We demonstrate high mode purity and a mode volume proportional to the order of the mode. Our results suggest a possible route to high brightness diode-pumped solid-state laser sources.
