Abstract :
The possibility of transverse mode locking using cylindrically symmetric laser modes is considered. For a specified set of mode amplitudes and phases it is found that the beam intensity profile in the transverse plane is the same shape as the fundamental mode, but has a spot size that is time varying with the transverse-mode spacing frequency. The beam power is the sum of the powers of the individual modes.
