Results of an investigation aimed at improving the 
efficiency of pulsed-periodic neodymium glass lasers are presented. 
The choice of the efficiency criterion of the laser system as the 
product of the radiation power and the Strehl number made it possible 
to formulate and substantiate several practical recommendations on 
the choice of optimum operating-mode-structure parameters of 
a pulsed-periodic laser.
