In this paper, on the basis ofliterature and the own works there has been made a review of various configurations of laser resonators, optical and electrooptical elements, leading to an enlargement ofTEM mode volume and to a smoothing of its transverse distribution of irradiance, both in a near and a far field. The special attention has been paid to an unstable resonator, "p-branch" type as well as to an output mirror with a radially variable reflection coefficient. Thus, there has been carried out some kind of review of methods of putting out a laser beam out of resonators. Moreover, in the paper there are summarized advantages and disadvantages of designs of the discussed resonators, causing the smoothing of a transversal distribution of irradiation in a laser beam.

“…These include, first of all, Faraday isolators [1], as well as some other devices, e.g., polarization apodizing diaphragms [2]. In some cases, when media with high magnetic susceptibility and strong magnetic fields are used, the influence of magnetization of magneto-optical elements (MOEs) on characteristics of the devices should be taken into account.…”

“…There are few papers that use the phenomenon of polarization for beam shaping. For example, Simmons et al 9 designed a device based on the Pockels and Faraday effects in order to profile a plane-polarized, collimated, and monochromatic wave. Birefringent lenses are included in laser resonators to obtain predetermined profiles.…”

A procedure for global beam shaping by modifying some global spatial parameters characteristic of the beam is proposed. This method is based on the generation of a nonuniformly polarized beam using a Mach-Zehnder system with two suitably shaped intensity transmittances and orthogonal linear polarizers. The changes in beam quality and kurtosis parameters after a linear polarizer placed at the output of the system are investigated.
