Abstract :
We propose to use transmitting volume Bragg gratings recorded in photo-thermo-refractive glass as high efficient intracavity angular filters in order to achieve high beam quality while using large aperture active medium. The paper describes implementation of novel compact cavity design for solid state lasers, laser diodes, fiber crystal lasers and others.
