摘要
The beam propagation factor, M-2, exists as one of very few measures of a laser's performance, when really a more detailed analysis of the application and laser are necessary for judgement in most cases. In free-space optical communications, a crucial figure of merit is the proportion of diffraction-limited power in the far-field. A calculated structure has been made with a higher proportion of diffraction-limited power in the farfield than another calculated structure with a much better M-2. This calculated structure has an M-2 of 19, with 89% of its power within the diffraction limit in the far-field, compared to another calculated structure with M-2 of 1.7 that has 86% of its power within the diffraction limit in the far-field.
