Abstract

Graded-reflectance mirrors for Nd:YAG laser have been made and tested in the laser resonator. The output energetic characteristics and the results of laser beam divergence measurements are presented for the different GRM mirrors. The output energy ca 10% smaller then for classical uniform-reflectance mirrors were obtained, but the beam divergence were reduced more by half.
