Abstract

A reduction of the divergence of a laser beam by a factor of 2 - 2.5 was achieved in a multimode regime of laser generation using an intracavity controlled mirror. It was shown that various radiation mode structures may be formed at the laser output and in the far-field zone. The correspondence between the shape of deformed flexible mirror and configuration of generated mode has been detected.
