| Abstract | |
We present a new numerical method to calculate the optimum lens transformation to implement on a monochromatic laser beam path, in order to maximize its coupling to the fundamental Gaussian mode of a resonator or to a single-mode optical fiber whose mode can be described as Gaussian to a good approximation. This method relies on a useful mathematical relation on Laguerre-Gauss modes of different waists and reduces in the end to numerically maximizing a polynomial that is a function of the state of the beam in a finite interval, thus being numerically very efficient. We show with a simple example that this method is particularly efficient against other common methods used in the laboratory when it comes to laser beams composed of a coherent superposition of higher-order Laguerre-Gauss modes, as it is the case for instance for beams traversing optical elements suffering from spherical aberration.
