Abstract

A laser with a decoupling device for emitting a laser output depending on at least one influenceable parameter and a mode-coupling device for coupling a plurality of the laserable modes of the resonator. A detector is provided for detecting a value related to the emitted laser output and a parameter varying means for varying the at least one parameter in response to the detected value.
