Problems solved by technology

However, since the output coupling mirror of the cavity is a knife-edge, and the output beam is a solid rectangle, in the transmission of strong infrared laser, it can only be emitted by oblique-axis reflective telescopes; and the design of oblique-axis reflective telescopes is difficult and expensive

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-power lasers, and in particular relates to a laser unstable cavity outputting a solid beam based on an extracavity beam shaping technology and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] High power lasers with high beam quality are very important in both industrial and military applications. For high-power lasers, the most important thing is how to obtain the largest possible mode volume and good transverse mode discrimination ability to achieve high-power single-mode operation, so as to extract energy efficiently from the active medium while maintaining Laser output with high beam quality. In order to obtain high-power laser output, it is often necessary to use an active medium with a large volume and large lateral size to ensure that the optical components in the cavity can achieve high-power laser output without laser damage. [0003] The stable cavity can only be operated in the funda...
