Abstract :
This paper describes a V-shaped thin disk laser resonator. We have developed a computer code for designing of optical resonator for disk lasers both in the dynamical and non-dynamical stable regimes. We used an experimental method to measure diopter of the disk based on measurement of probe beam divergence. The beam quality factor M2 is measured and results are compared with design predictions.
