Abstract: An experimental investigation was made of optical systems in which polarizers eliminated the influence of an opposite wave on the angular characteristics of the radiation emitted by a laser with a telescopic resonator. The feasibility and advantages of the use of an unstable resonator were analyzed for a generator of reference waves in systems for a degenerate four-wave interaction at the wavelength of 10.6μ.
