A resonator using w-axicon and axicon mirrors for a double coaxial electrode discharge CO 2 laser is analyzed using the vector field, iterative reflection method. A uniform ring-shaped output mode is expected even with struts in the electrode in the multi kW scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
