Abstract
Usually Q-switch pulses in CO2 lasers is obtained by putting mechanical shutter inside laser cavity. To avoid undesirable beam transformations the beam is to be focused inside laser resonator and shutter is to be put exactly in the focal plane2. To overcome these problems we suggest to use active deformable mirrors as the modulating element the bimorph one or/and "cylindrical"
