Laser beam quality is one of the key indicators to measure the application performance of laser. To meet the application requirements of long-distance optoelectronic countermeasures, we cany out the research on the design of unstable resonators and beam quality improvement techniques for non-chain pulsed deuterium fluoride (DF) lasers. Three sets of positive branch virtual confocal unstable resonators with different magnifications are designed. An inner cavity unstable resonator with two support structures of convex mirror, transverse support and longitudinal support, are constructed. The transverse support structure is equipped with a circulating water-cooling channel. Using 86.5% surrounding energy to define laser beam diameter, the laser beam quality is evaluated with beam quality factor
