The topics discussed in these proceedings include free-electron laser resonators, excimer and CO2 lasers, resonator theory and modeling, solid state devices, resonator physics, and chemical and high-power laser resonators. Papers are presented on optical resonators for free-electron lasers (FELs), an experimental test of hole-coupled FEL resonator designs using a CW He-Ne laser, the dependence of laser properties on statistical distortions of active medium, formation of filaments in expanding beams in semiconductor optical amplifiers, and mode competition in a loop-stimulated Brillouin scattering laser. Particular attention is given to a canonical analysis of roof-top resonators, an investigation of novel cavities with self-reconstructed points, low-power laser concepts for high-power laser ring resonator alignment, and alternative coolants for intense thermal loading on optical components.
