Modeling of optical inhomogeneities in Cr:CdSe laser with a moving active element

The results of numerical investigations of optical inhomogeneities in high-power Cr:CdSe lasers with a moving active element are presented. It has been shown that the beam quality of Cr:CdSe lasers directly depends on the speed of movement of the active element. The maximum power in single-mode regime has limited by the efficiency of the resonator and the cooling system of active element.
