Optimizing energy performance of 《zig-zag》 slab lasers in form of flat truncated prisms

Abstract

Considered to optimal power characteristics of 《zig-zag》 lasers in the form of a flat truncated prism with a zig-zag course of the ray in the three-mirror stable resonator, depending on the design parameters. It is noted that this design is characterized by the additional loss of radiation on the mirrors of the resonator, contributing to the generated radiation specific power decreasing.
