metals and alloys is reviewed. A brief introduction covering LSP process, LSP on various …

Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques addresses the theory and practice of every
important technique for lossless beam shaping. Complete with experimental results as well …

The problems related to resonators suitable for generation of diffraction-limited beams of
high power or energy, and a few of the most significant recent solutions, are reviewed. In …

We consider four families of functions--the super-Gaussian, flattened Gaussian, Fermi-Dirac,
and super-Lorentzian--that have been used to describe flattened irradiance profiles. We …

A general procedure for treating solid-state laser unstable resonators with tapered reflectivity
mirrors within the framework of geometrical optics is presented. A suitable choice of the …

The multi-Gaussian beam shape is proposed as a model for aperture functions and laser
beam profiles that have a nearly flat top but whose sides decrease continuously. Beams and …

A systematic theoretical and experimental investigation of unstable resonators with variable
reflectivity mirrors of a super-Gaussian profile is presented. The validity of a geometrical …
