Abstract

In this paper optimization of the quality of the output beam as a function of the Gaussian mirror position and Gaussian mirror parameter in hollow-waveguide SLAB lasers is presented. It is shown that using of the Gaussian mirror in such kind of resonators makes possible remarkably decease number of lateral stripes in far field distribution.
