Abstract
The effect of microstructured profiles on electromagnetic waves is the basic issue of diffractive optics. These profiles represent a significant extension of the possibilities to realize optical functions. Laser optics is of special importance for diffractive optics. In this paper examples of the use of diffractive elements outside and inside the laser resonator are given. Theoretical and experimental results are presented.
