Nd:YAG laser with multidielectric variable reflectivity output coupler

Abstract A gaussian reflectivity output coupler fabricated by means of a new thin film vacuum deposition technique has been experimentally tested in an unstable Nd:YAG laser resonator. High brightness, diffraction limited beams with flat top profile have been generated. The results are compared with those obtained by unstable and stable resonator configurations with uniform reflectivity mirrors.
