| description | In this paper, the influence of pump radiation parameters and laser resonator configurations on the characteristics of high-energy 589 nm KGW Raman lasers is investigated and explained. The best energy efficiency is obtained in lasers with a flat resonator, while the best angular characteristics are obtained in lasers with an unstable resonator. The use of stable spherical resonators results in the worst energy and angular characteristics. The angular divergence in lasers with flat cavities increases with pump intensity because of wing growth, whereas the core width remains unchanged. The structure of the wings is recorded and analyzed. |
