A diode laser system providing a high-power laser beam with good spatial coherence, which can be focused to a small spot size over long distances and which has a good pointing stability. The laser system comprises a laser diode ( 301 ) adapted to emit a first light beam, where the first light beam comprises a plurality of spatial modes, selection means ( 304 ) adapted to select a predetermined part of the first light beam, and a reflector ( 306 ), where the laser diode and the reflector define a cavity and where the reflector is adapted to reflect the selected part of the first light beam back into the laser diode as a second light beam. The laser system is characterised in that the selection means is adapted to select a part of the first light beam corresponding to a spatial mode with a higher mode number than a spatial mode with maximum gain. |
