Abstract
A high power cw CO 2 laser beam is generated from a resonator configuration having an axicon mirror as its end reflector. The properties of this beam are evaluated in terms of its polarization, focusing capability and temporal stability and the resulting effects on processing materials are presented. A comparison is made between a folded and a straight resonator having a spherical focusing mirror as its end reflector.
