This paper theoretically studied the properties of the mode structure and modes evolution of a slab waveguide CO
2
laser with a far field intensity distribution of a single spatially suppressed peak. To well explain the experimental result
physical model based on the Diffractive Optics was proposed in this paper. A self-consistent mode equation under condition of waveguide wall was set up. By the use of the numerical method
the self-consistent mode was solved under the condition of waveguide wall. The theoretical results show that the farfield of the mode is single peak while its nearfield is a multiple spots. These theoretical results well agree with the obtained experimental result.
