Abstract

The experimental preliminary results concerning the operation conditions of a cw CO₂ laser with a variable focus, concave mirror are presented in the paper. The mirror is introduced as a rear mirror into a stable cavity of the laser. The contour of the mirror is changed by adjusting the pressure of the cooling medium. The laser output properties are investigated versus the parameters describing the deformable mirror shape.
