Abstract
10mm and 15mm diameter adaptive membrane mirrors have been implemented into a Nd:YVO4 laser. The laser performance has been investigated and compared to a similar laser without an adaptive mirror. While some membrane mirrors did not change the laser behaviour, several other membrane mirrors lead to a switching between transverse modes. With less than 3kW/cm2, the maximum intensity on the mirror membrane was small compared to a damage threshold of more than 144kW/cm2.
