In systems with higher laser power, this can even lead to the destruction of the ZGP crystal. Due to an upstream intensity modulator 11 with variable transmission TM OC) , only the power falls on the polarization modulation device 2

- P out (t) corresponds to the technically maximum desired or possible output power
- T Mod (t) 1.
- This choice is advantageous for a 0 ⁇ a e, such as with ZGP, or generally with a stronger absorption of the non-converting polarization compared to the converting polarization, since it allows the full output power range to be used.
- the converter 3 has an arbitrarily selectable output power, such as the power of the output laser beam 9, with a minimal number of additionally required components.
- the laser arrangement 1 or the converter 3 can be operated at a constant operating point and thus the beam position and beam quality remain unchanged due to constant thermal effects regardless of the modulation.
