Abstract:
It is shown that the profile of the beam from a compact TEA СO2 laser can be controlled by an apodizing liquid-crystal stop utilizing a cholesteric–nematic transition. It is reported that the optoacoustic effect in the liquid crystal influences the mode composition and profile of the lasing pulses.
