Abstract
Unstable resonators with 90° beam rotation are discussed. Geometric properties of the forward and reverse modes are derived, and diffractive-optical properties are described. An equation for the equivalent Frensel number is obtained. Plots of eigenvectors of the resonator integral equation are included, and the equivalence of these resonators to a type of strip resonator is established.
