Strange mode profile of Prometheus laser

Nishino

The IR side of the Prometheus laser has a strange mode, splitting like TEM01 mode. The spec sheet says TEM00 with M<1.2.

We attenuated the laser power with two mirrors, (R>99.97 % and R>98.5 %), and rejected the GR beam which somehow copropagate with the IR. 

The report is attatched in pdf file.
