ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
THEORY
A Laser has composed of three parts mainly The active medium, the
optical resonatorand the pumping source. The working principle of
laser is based on the stimulated emission and population inversion process.A
typical laser structure is shown in figure below.It have 2 mirrors on its both
side and a cavity or resonator between them.

In this experiment we are doing study of T EM00 mode of the optical resonator and hence the intensity of the laser light should be Gaussian in nature.

The beam spot size is defined as the distance which corresponds to the e12
of the maximum intensity.As usually we know that laser beam highly directionable but as it propagates it diverges up to some extent.The divergence
of a laser can be measured as
=
half of the divergence angle can be calculated as,
=
d2 d1
z2 z1
(1)
(2)
w2 w1
(3)
z2 z1
Switch on the laser and the detector and sure about that the laser beam
falls exactly on the pinhole detector.To scan the whole laser beam we have
to move Micrometer from one end to another end and note down the corresponding current intensity at various value of x.
