This course will address all aspects of laser beam quality. Topics to be covered are: a short introduction to Gaussian beams, definitions and importance of beam quality, measurement techniques, typical beam quality issues related to various kinds of lasers (primarily solid state lasers and semiconductor lasers), an overview on methods for optimizing the beam quality particularly of diode-pumped solid state lasers, and the working principles of common beam shapers and mode cleaners.
