Upper bound of the loss $\beta$, at which the putput power $P_{\rm s}$ of an active mirror is still achievable, versus normalized power $s$, by.

Thick dashed line corresponds to uncovered disk laser; thick solid curve is the same for the disk wuth undoped layer (anti-ASE cap). Thin solid line represents the simplest rough estimate $$ \beta=s^{1/3}$$ without coefficients, which applies to both cases. Circles correspond to various experimental data.
