Abstract
Volume gain-grating holograms formed by gain grating in a laser amplifier have been shown to be a technique to produce self-adaptive laser systems.1·2 In these laser systems the spatial form of the oscillating cavity mode is controlled by the form of the gain holographic element. We present results of the energy, spatial and temporal characteristics of such a self-adaptive Nd:YAG laser using a unidirectional holographic ring resonator.
