Abstract
The optimum laser beam profile allowing maximum energy extraction from a low-gain saturable amplifier is determined analytically. It is found that, in general, this intensity distribution does not correspond to the gain profile. Several examples demonstrate, however, that the optimum is broad in the space of functions so that a large class of beam shapes can be nearly optimum.
