Abstract
We present a method to continuously tune the degree of spatial coheren ce of a short-wavelength laser. The method is based on the optical pro perties of the hollow-waveguide Fabry-Perot resonators with external m irrors. The potential of the technique is demonstrated experimentally on a capillary nitrogen laser (lambda = 337.1 nm). The results of the work can be used for the construction of short-wavelenth lasers with t unable spatial coherence.
