Conservation Land Management (CLM) is a quarterly magazine that is widely regarded as essential reading for all who are involved in land management for nature conservation, across the British Isles. CLM includes long-form articles, events listings, publication reviews, new product information and updates, reports of conferences and letters.

Recall that a laser is an oscillator composed by an amplifier, the active medium, and a resonator, the optical cavity. The light emitted by the laser is a combination of the cavity modes, which combination depends on the cavity properties and the gain profile of the laser.

Gaussianbeam intensity formula

While most lasers generate Gaussian beams, for reasons well outlined by Massimo Ortolano in his answer, this is not the only possibility. Other two kinds of laser profiles that have applications in optical laboratories are for example Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian beams.

The latter are in particular very interesting, as laser light with a Laguerre-Gaussian amplitude distribution happens to have a well-defined orbital angular momentum, as first observed by L. Allen in 1992. Quoting from Allen's paper: The transverse amplitude distribution of laser light is usually described in terms of a product of Hermite polynomials $H_n(x)H_m(y)$ and associated with TEM$_{nmq}$ modes. Laguerre polynomial distributions of amplitude, TEM$_{plq}$ modes, are also possible but occur less often in actual lasers.

The 6H range of borescopes have a narrow cable just 5.8 mm in diameter. The different models vary in cable length, either 18" / 45 cm or 36" / 91 cm. The flexible nylon shaft will fit into holes as small as 6 mm diameter but it is not 'obedient' (it does not retain the last set position).The endoscope has an on/off switch which allows you to leave the light on without keeping your finger on the button. The handle design gives the greatest comfort for extended periods of use and ease of focusing.The lamp is an internal halogen bulb. The superior optical cable gives a high quality sharp image (7400 pixels) even at close ranges as low as a few centimeters. The cable is abrasive and water resistant with a bending radius of down to only 7 cm.Spare halogen lamp, angled mirror, and magnet accessories are included.

The intensity profile is thus determined by this combination of modes. If you consider for example an optical cavity composed of two spherical mirrors, it turns out that its modes are Gaussian beams: the fundamental mode has an intensity profile which is a simple Gaussian curve, while higher modes have more complicated profiles (see e.g. this document).

Even when the laser itself can only generate a fundamental Gaussian profile, the spatial profile of the light is (relatively) easily modified, for example with SLMs, and made into any profile one wants.

Hence, a so-called single-mode laser working on the fundamental mode of a cavity with two spherical mirrors, will have an intensity profile quite close to that of a Gaussian.

British Wildlife is the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. Published eight times a year, British Wildlife bridges the gap between popular writing and scientific literature through a combination of long-form articles, regular columns and reports, book reviews and letters.

In general, not all lasers are single mode and not all lasers are equipped with those kind of cavities (e.g., solid-state lasers). Therefore, not all laser beams are perfectly Gaussian. However, designers always try to choose cavity shapes which minimize the field at the edges of the cavity to reduce diffraction losses.
