Optical beam quality: comparison between beams generated in folded-stable and hybrid stable-unstable resonators
Conference Paper
Publication Date:
2003
abstract:
We performed experimental measurements on a CO2 laser, consisting of a radio-frequency excitation discharge with slab geometry and a three mirror multipass resonator. We compared extraction efficiency, power stability and beam quality to those of the hybrid stable-unstable resonator.
