Abstract: We present the numerical and experimental study that we carried out to compare the performances of two hybrid stable–unstable resonators for diffusion-cooled CO2 slab lasers. The two resonators are designed to fit a 320 mm 3 60 mm 3 2 mm rf-discharge channel and are both guided in the narrow transverse direction. They differ in the other transverse direction, consisting of a positive- or a negative-branch unstable resonator scheme. The two solutions have been characterized in terms of modal structure, power extraction, stability, and quality of the extracted beam.
