Here we develop a general theory of mode transformation (diffraction) at the flat transverse boundary between cold magnetized electron plasma and isotropic vacuum-like medium inside a circular waveguide. The obtained results can be also…
Laser interferometry is an extensively used diagnostic for plasma experiments. Existing plasma interferometers are designed on the presumption that the scene and reference beam path lengths have to be equal, a requirement that is costly in…
In this study, we constructed a Fabry-Perot cavity with nanostructured, thin resonant metasurfaces as meta-mirrors. We developed a temporal coupled-mode theory and provided an accurate generalization of Fabry-Perot resonance and…
Conventional microlasing of electromagnetic waves requires (1) a high $Q$ cavity and (2) a mechanism for directional emission. Previous theoretical and experimental work demonstrated that the two requirements can be met with deformed…
We create a spatially homogeneous field inside of a ring cavity by combining two transverse modes generated by a single laser through modulation. The interference term between the two modes averages out because of the frequency difference…

An efficient method to tune the spatial coherence of a degenerate laser over a broad range with minimum variation in the total output power is presented. It is based on varying the diameter of a spatial filter inside the laser cavity. The…
The ray dynamics of optical cavities exhibits bifurcation points: special geometries at which ray trajectories switch abruptly between stable and unstable. A prominent example is the Fabry-Perot cavity with two planar mirrors, which is…
The structure of an optical waveguide determines the characteristics of its guided modes, such as their spatial profile and group index. General features are shared by modes regardless of the waveguiding structure; for example, modal…
Broad area laser diodes are attractive for the high optical power they can produce. Unfortunately, this high power normally comes at the cost of severely reduced spatial coherence since the wide area of the semiconductor wave-guide is…
We study the accretion process in the thin disk around a rotating non-Kerr black hole with a deformed parameter and an unbound rotation parameter. Our results show that the presence of the deformed parameter $\epsilon$ modifies the standard…

Decades of work on beam deformation on reflection, and especially on lateral shifts, have spread the idea that a reflected beam is larger than the incident beam. However, when the right conditions are met, a beam reflected by a multilayered…
The paper presents a theoretical study of the eigenmodes of a misaligned ring multi-mirror laser cavity one or several arms of which are filled with an inhomogeneous medium. We start with posing the general problem of calculation of the…
