Abstract

The diffractive optical element as intracavity gradient mirror ofYAG:Nd laser has been offered. The peculiarity of this element is using of zero order diffraction. The damage threshold of this mirror is 5-10 J/cm². There's been noticed that during the work with full aperture of active element divergence of one-mode radiation of laser with gradient mirror became 1,5x10^-4 rad with 30 mJ energy.
