Instable laser resonator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5865844
An unstable laser resonator having two spherical mirrors for producing a collimated output beam with rotationally unsymmetrical magnification characterized by the inclusion between the two spherical mirrors of at least two other optical elements with cylindrical surfaces and wherein the cylindrical axes of said cylindrical surfaces are essentially perpendicular to each other. These other two optical elements may be mirrors or lenses.
