Abstract
Laser modes of misaligned resonators transversally limited in gain are obtained analytically within the paraxial approximation. The eigenfunctions are shown to be complex Hermite–Gaussian functions, not centered either in intensity or in curvature center. Eigenvalues are also obtained, and the effect of resonator parameters and misalignment is analyzed, revealing the lack of selectivity of misalignment on order mode. The changes in the appearance of the modes are also shown.
