Abstract

The present paper is concerned with a study of the operation of a ruby laser with plane mirrors set at angles of 3–10′ relative to each other. It is shown that tilting the mirrors shifts the intensity maximum on the mirrors and deflects the radiation beams toward the further edges of the mirrors. The prevailing patterns in the near and far zones were found to coincide for all mirror tilt directions. The experimental results are compared with theoretical deductions and a conclusion is drawn regarding the modal composition of the radiation.
