Abstract

A calculational and experimental study has been carried out for the spatial intensity profiles of laser beams formed at the output of an aperture-partitioning system using serrated apodizing stops with various types of serrated structures. Arrays of 2×2 and 1×2 beams with square and rectangular apertures are obtained, and it is experimentally shown that apodized beams can be formed with a high fill factor and an excess of the peak energy density relative to the mean value of no more than 1%.
