Figure 1: Schematic of the experimental setup for the generation of tunable, self-reconstructing optical modes.

From: Atomic vapor as a source of tunable, non-Gaussian self-reconstructing optical modes

Figure 1

The mode images (A, B, and C) were obtained with an input power of P = 300 mW and a cell temperature of T = 125 °C. Ti:Sapph: Titanium-sapphire CW laser. BS: Beamsplitter. HWP: Half-wave plate. PBS: Polarizing beam splitter. 85Rb: Rubidium-85 vapor cell. CCD: Camera. A: Reference image before the obstruction. B: Obstructed mode directly after the obstruction. C: Reconstructed mode several meters after the obstruction.
