METHOD OF OUTPUTTING AND CONTROLLING ENERGY/POWER OF OUTPUT LASER RADIATION AND APPARATUS THEREFOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01S3/10 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to laser engineering. The method of outputting and controlling energy/power of output laser radiation includes mounting a reflecting element in a laser resonator at an angle to its axis, said reflecting element being mounted on a movable base, the position of which determines the level of the output energy/power after turning on the laser and setting the required level of pumping energy/power. In the resonator of a pulsed or continuous laser between the output mirror of the laser, which is replaced with an opaque reflecting mirror, and the end of its active element as a reflecting control element, an opaque reflecting mirror is mounted on a movable base which enables to move said mirror parallel to its reflecting surface in the range from its full exit from the light field established in the resonator to complete overlapping of said field after entrance of said movable mirror, with the possibility of not only outputting laser energy/power, but control thereof, and particularly gradual change of energy/power from zero to a maximum value and vice versa at a given pumping level and setting the output energy at the required level.

EFFECT: providing a stable spatial position of an output laser beam.
