ABSTRACT:
The invention deals with a face pumped slab laser in which the slab is of a rectangular configuration, favoring use of an optical resonator cavity capable of producing a rectangular beam of good quality within the cavity. The novel optical resonator cavity, which produces this rectangular beam, is stable on one axis corresponding to the smaller beam dimension and unstable on an axis orthogonal to the first axis corresponding to the larger beam dimension. The result is both high efficiency, excellent power and a good quality output beam is produced.
