Beam-by-beam Kerr clean-up in multimode optical fibres – INVITED [PDF]
We propose and demonstrate the concept of beam-by-beam cleaning in multimode optical fibres, i.e., the increase of the spatial quality of an intense laser beam, induced by a relatively weak, quasi singlemode seed beam.

Characterization of beam quality of unstable laser beams with the multiple hyperbolas method
In this paper, the multiple hyperbolas method is proposed for characterizing the beam quality of unstable laser beams. Based on the traditional beam quality analyzer equipment, the proposed method captures multiple intensity images at every measurement ...

Generalized beam quality factor of aberrated truncated Gaussian laser beams [PDF]
We outline a theory for the calculation of the beam quality factor of an aberrated laser beam. We provide closed-form equations that show that the beam quality factor of an aberrated Gaussian beam depends on all primary aberrations except tilt, defocus, and x-astigmatism.
