Super-Gaussian CO2 laser using a graded-phase minor resonator

Abstract

We have recently introduced an inverse-propagation method to calculate the profile of the feedback mirror for a resonator having a specified output.1,2 We have shown that certain optical resonators can have a fundamental mode of a stable type with a large beam waist and, at the same time, higher-order modes with large losses. The design of highly discriminating laser resonators is thus possible.
