Abstract

Simulation study of the stability lateral field distribution for a variety of shapes parallel-plane cavity with the Fox-Li numerical iterative method is conducted in this paper, which gives the optical field amplitude distribution and phase distribution after iterating any number of times. After calculation and simulation, we find that the strip cavity needs 245 times iterations to produce a stable field conditions, while rectangular and circular cavity need 103 and 114 times under the same condition. Finally, the user interface for simulating the field distribution of a common parallel-plane cavity is designed, which is conducive to the understanding and extensive application of the theory of laser transverse mode.
