Abstract

Cet oscillateur laser comportant une cavité formée par deux miroirs entre lesquels est disposé un milieu amplificateur optique et un diaphragme est caractérisé en ce que le diaphragme 13 est placé entre le milieu amplificateur 9 et le miroir à haut coefficient de réflexion, et en ce qu'il comporte en outre un polariseur 14 placé entre ledit diaphragme 13 et le milieu amplificateur et un dispositif 15 de rotation de la polarisation du faisceau de sortie de l'oscillateur, de transformation et de renvoi de ce faisceau par réflexion vers le milieu amplificateur 9 et le polariseur 14 de manière que lorsqu'il atteint à nouveau le milieu amplificateur 9 il présente une section à peu près égale à celle dudit milieu amplificateur.
