Abstract
Summary form only given. In recent years, laser oscillators with nonlinear mirrors have attracted great attention. The interest in these lasers is related to their unique properties, such as the adaptive correction of thermal distortions, dynamic control of beam parameters, etc. We present Nd:YAG:Nd laser oscillators with cavity completed by dynamic holographic gratings induced in a nematic liquid crystal by generating waves themselves.
