Abstract

Mode discrimination in CO₂ slab lasers using grooved surface electrodes is presented. The degree of lateral mode discrimination is determined by the tilt of the resonator mirrors in the vertical direction. Mirror tilt in the vertical direction increases the interaction between the lateral modes and the grooves, causing mode selection. Power reduction is caused by the large vertical tilt, and future work will use double sided electrode grooves to improve the mode selection loss.
