Abstract

A gaussian reflectivity mirror has been used as output coupler of a positive branch confocal unstable resonator in a multikilowatt transverse flow DC excited C02 laser source. 1 kW output power and a radiance value comparable with those of fast axial flow lasers at the same power level have been obtained.
