Abstract: The energy and spatial output parameters of a solid-state Nd : GGG disk laser with three-beam pumping and a degenerate cavity with a single output channel are studied. The radiation was coupled out of the cavity through either an auxiliary semitransparent output mirror or a variable-reflectivity mirror. The single offaxis intracavity beam successively propagated through all the pumped regions of the active element.

Keywords: solid-state lasers, disk active elements, degenerate cavities, multi-beam diode pumping.
