my x65 will stay in tem00 until it gets too warm with low batteries, then it hits tem02 or tem03.

what mode does your laser run in?

My 170mW CNI runs in a clean, perfectly round TEM00. My old X105 would switch to TEM01 on low batteries, and when they batteries were ultra dead sometimes I could squeeze out TEM03, I sometimes thought I could see a 5th dot but it was so dim I'm not sure if I could call it TEM04.

i just noticed that my x65 was hitting something like tem05. the strange thing is that it has never hit tem01. :-?

I wish i had a picture of each one so I could see the differences. I've never had a laser that mode hopped, but my upcoming 150mW focusable is going to be a BIG surprise!

my DIY torch was made to do a weired TEM but I dont know what its called...
it does 5 beams with the middle one being the brightest and the others diverging away from the middle.

I like this picture more.
"The TEM01* mode, the so-called doughnut mode, is a special case consisting of a superposition of two TEM01 modes (i=1,2,3), rotated 360°/4i with respect to one another."

thats the one I was looking for!!! I couldn't find it. What article is it under in wikipedia? I searched "transverse modes" "electromegnetic modes" "laser modes" "tem modes" And a bunch more, and I couldn't find that damn picture. I found the other one like it, which has some of the 'square' modes, but I couldn't find that one.

my romison laser isnt quite Tem00, but it isnt anything worse. it has a normal dot, but some scattered light aroudn it, then there is a thin line that extends from the beam, the line is not nearly as bright as the dot, more like a brighter line of scattered light. I think it's from a dirty/scratched lens, which i'm not able to clean.
the scattered light does go away when i do attempt to clean it tho.

You can't classify a diode laser like the dilda with TEM modes because diodes don't mode hop.360freak said:
Your laser is probably perfect TEM00 but with a dirty lens. You can't classify the mode of laser by what the lens distorts the dot into.mikeeey said:

Personally I think a TEM30 or 34 laser would look awesome.
