Transverse Mode And Pretty Flowers

From the post "It's All Fluorescence Outside, Inside" dated 29 Jul 2015,


the rotating \(E\) fields generated by \(g^{+}\) and \(T^{+}\) particles interact and give rise to the Transverse Modes in a laser.

An aperture that restrict the spread of this field in the plane perpendicular to \(OP\), prevents such interactions and "destroys" the transverse modes.  A conductive wire within the resonance cavity of the laser would also short the \(E\) fields and prevent their interaction in certain directions and so produce different interference patterns.

Have a nice day.
