Abstract
ATR prism was used firstly as the FIR laser output coupler. Such output mirror possesses good separation of the pump (λ≈10µm) and FIR radiation without losses. Transmittance of this mirror can be simply controlled by adjustment of gap between two output prisms. The dependence of mirror output characteristics on pump radiation polarization, prism refractive index, gap between prisms are under consideration.
