  • Abstract
    The properties of a new class of lasers are investigated theoretically and experimentally. In these lasers, the radiation propagates radially within a disk-shaped amplifying medium resulting in high fields and symmetric illumination at the resonator axis. Experiments have been conducted using a pulsed CO2TEA configuration.
