To identify and validate the physical mechanism responsible for the asymmetric lineshapes observed in intracavity laser resonances such as the Lamb dip.
Conducted intracavity laser experiments examining the diffracted light within the geometrical shadow of Gaussian laser beams.
Formulated a modified Lamb-dip theoretical expression incorporating resonant frequency-dependent diffraction effects.
Direct measurement of diffracted light inside the beam shadow revealed an inverted resonance asymmetry, confirming resonant nonlinear diffraction.
The modified Lamb-dip model yielded improved quantitative agreement between theoretical lineshapes and experimental data compared to conventional theory.
