YAG:Nd laser with mirrors having a radial distribution of the reflection coefficient
Abstract
A new class of mirrors with a super-Gaussian reflection coefficient has been investigated. A technique has been developed for manufacturing these elements in a conventional evaporation unit. The efficiency of a YAG:Nd laser using these elements has been demonstrated.
