HeNe Laser Mode Sweep The following set of 20 slides illustrate how the longitudinal modes of a typical 2-3 mW HeNe laser sweep or cycle through the neon gain curve as the laser warms up and the cavity length increases due to thermal expansion. 200 mm (~8 Inch) Cavity Length Sam's Laser FAQ ( Copyright © , Samuel M. Goldwasser, All Rights Reserved

Cavity Modes and Lasing Modes Cavity modes that fall within the region of the neon gain curve which is greater than the lasing threshold (net gain > 1) will result laser oscillation and a lasing mode with an output power approximately proportional to its amplitude compared to the lasing threshold. These are the longitudinal modes of the laser. The total output power of the laser is equal to the sum of all the longitudinal modes. Sam's Laser FAQ ( Copyright © , Samuel M. Goldwasser, All Rights Reserved

Mode Sweep As the cavity length increases due to thermal expansion, the wavelengths of the cavity modes (and longitudinal modes) increase (moving to the left). When a cavity mode passes the point on the left (longer wavelengths) where the gain becomes less than 1, a new mode will eventually appear on the right to replace it. For this fairly short HeNe laser, at most 3 modes are oscillating at any given time.. Sam's Laser FAQ ( Copyright © , Samuel M. Goldwasser, All Rights Reserved

Polarization Adjacent longitudinal modes in random polarized HeNe lasers are usually orthogonally polarized with respect to an orientation determined by the laser tube construction. These are denoted red and blue. When one mode is approximately centered on the neon gain curve, the other two modes will have the orthogonal polarization and can be blocked Longitudinal modes in a linearly polarized HeNe laser will all have the same polarization orientation but similar amplitudes for the same size laser.

Start slide show to view mode sweep. (Left and right arrows may be used to change mode sweep speed or to simulate the feedback control of a stabilized HeNe laser by centering one mode on the neon gain curve or by balancing two modes on either side of the neon gain curve) Sam's Laser FAQ ( Copyright © , Samuel M.
