Fields of Application
They are used, in particular, as output couplers in unstable resonators where they help to reduce the beam divergence at high pulse energies. They are also used to generate laser beams with a very homogeneous power distribution, which are required for illumination tasks, in material processing, or medical applications. To produce high pump efficiency, Gaussian mirrors are, furthermore, used in frequency-doubled systems.
Gaussian Mirrors by LASER COMPONENTS – In the past few years, manufacturing costs have been significantly reduced.
