This course covers fundamental principles and recent developments in laser beam engineering, including the formation of propagation-invarian
t laser beams and their transformations, formation of structured illumination, beam shaping, and beam combining. The course instructor will provide a detailed description of different laser beam types, their properties and propagation characteristics, as well as beam quality criteria. This includes the criteria required for resolving ambiguities in beam quality defined based on the M2 parameter. The course will also provide a comprehensive overview of laser output power scaling techniques, including coherent and incoherent beam combining. Based on numerous examples presented by the instructor, attendees will learn about exciting applications of modern beam shaping techniques and how laser beams are employed in a variety of modern photonics instruments, including laser scanners for autonomous navigation LIDAR systems, laser projection systems for 3D metrology, wearable display and augmented reality devices, laser machining, materials processing, and micro-manipulation.
