Laser beam profile analysis of a hole coupled free-electron laser

We present measurements and numerical simulations of the laser beam transverse profile of the CLIO infrared free-electron laser (FEL). This FEL uses a hole coupling extraction system, which introduces important perturbation on the intracavity optical mode. We show that this intracavity mode tends to...
