Unstable resonator with canceling edge waves

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Diffractive feedback from the edge of the output mirror of an unstable resonator can cause intensity spikes and make the resonator sensitive to tilts. A design for a stepped feedback mirror is proposed that substantially reduces the effect of edge diffraction on the resonator modes. The predicted results are a more uniform intensity profile and greatly reduced tilt sensitivity.
