  In this paper, we study properties of the Diophantine exponents $w_n$ and
$w_n^{*}$ for Laurent series over a finite field. We prove that for an integer
$n\geq 1$ and a rational number $w>2n-1$, there exist a strictly increasing
sequence of positive integers $(k_j)_{j\geq 1}$ and a sequence of algebraic
Laurent series $(\xi_j)_{j\geq 1}$ such that deg $\xi_j=p^{k_j}+1$ and
\begin{equation} w_1(\xi_j)=w_1 ^{*}(\xi_j)=\ldots =w_n(\xi_j)=w_n
^{*}(\xi_j)=w \end{equation} for any $j\geq 1$. For each $n\geq 2$, we give
explicit examples of Laurent series $\xi $ for which $w_n(\xi )$ and
$w_n^{*}(\xi )$ are different.
