Abstract

Using the thin-sheet bidimensional model, propagation of the beam quality of arbitrary multimode beams through laser amplifiers is analysed. An stochastic formalism based on the Wigner distribution function of the field is employed, and some general properties of the spatial characteristics of the beams are pointed out.
