Abstract
The effects of phase shifts in laser beams transmitted by output coupl ers with a stepwise reflectivity profile have been experimentally inve stigated with a XeCl laser. It is shown that the phase distortions of the cavity output coupler affect significantly the propagation propert ies of the output laser beam but do not affect the output beam energy and pulse width.
