Annotation
The diffraction of laser beams with a smooth profile of the intensity distribution is investigated using a method based on the representation of the diffracted wave in the form of a superposition of TEM free-space modes. The field distribution of waves diffracted at a "soft" diaphragm and at the end of the gas-discharge capillary of a waveguide laser is calculated. The results of the calculation are verified experimentally.
