Diffraction of an elliptical Hermite-Gaussian beam on a wedge-shaped dielectric plate at oblique incidence.

The effect of wedge magnitude and orientation in a transparent glass plate on laser generation intensity at bleaching resonances of an optical laser resonator is experimentally investigated. Obtained experimental results are in good agreement with the proposed theoretical explanation, which is based on a two-beam interference model of multiple reflected Gaussian beams at plate interfaces.
