Frequently Asked Questions

Gaussian mirrors are mirrors with a degree of reflection that slopes from the center of the optic in a Gaussian distribution.

Gaussian mirrors help produce high quality laser beams with low beam divergence at high pulse energies. They are also used to achieve greater pump efficiency in frequency-doubled systems.

Unstable resonators are laser resonators that produce a highly collimated output beam with low divergence.

Gaussian mirrors are used in unstable resonators to help produce high quality laser beams with low beam divergence.

Yes, Gaussian mirrors are extremely stable and therefore suited for the highest power levels.
