Abstract
Self-imaging in a multi-mode active waveguide is examined as a method to preserve beam quality when amplifying a fundamental gaussian beam. Misalignment tolerance, gain saturation and thermal lensing effects are evaluated for the use of self-imaging in high average power, diode-pumped, planar waveguide lasers. © 2002 Optical Society of America.
