Lasers & Optoelectronics Lecture 10: Higher Modes & Mode Volumes (Cornell ECE4300 Fall 2016)

First the Gaussian beam is revisited. Then higher order beams are discussed. Finally the analytical expression to calculate the mode volume was presented.
Cornell ECE4300 taught in Fall 2016 by Profs. Debdeep Jena and Clif Pollock. (Website: djena.engineering.cornell.edu...)

Thank you so much from KSA for this neat lecture.

I must say, Prof Debdeep is much more intuitive teacher and he manages to give the large picture, intuitive understanding, and motivation behind the topic much better than Prof Pollock. He keeps on relating the stuff he is teaching today with what he had already taught which help me drive home the real essence and meaning of the topic at hand. Thank you so much for these high quality lectures.

Jesus what is with these comments? Nearly every video of this lecture series someone is bitching about something. Both lecturers are great and I am very happy that they uploaded this so that anyone can watch it. Try to be a bit grateful in your life.

@@annankldun4040 Clam down. No need to get charged up. I just said that I like the style of Prof Debdeep better. My entire comment is full of praises and just one small thing which some might find to be "criticism". And Yes, I am very grateful for such an amazing, freely available, and extensive resource.
