contents Harmonic-assisted phase amplification was achieved in a 300-micrometer-thick Nd:GdVO4 laser in the self-mixing interference scheme. The key event is the self-induced skew cosh Gaussian (e.g., skew-chG) mode oscillation in a thin-slice solid-state laser with wide-aperture laser-diode pumping. The skew-chG mode was proved to be formed by the phase-locking of nearly frequency-degenerate TEM00 and annular fields. The resultant modal-interference-induced gain modulation at the beat frequency between the two modal fields, which is far above the relaxation oscillation frequency, increased experimental self-mixing modulation bandwidth accordingly. Fifty-fold phase amplification was achieved in a strong optical feedback regime.
