In this work we describe the complete design of a broadband optical cavity for a new IR free electron laser under construction at Stanford using the first section of the Mark III linac. Although the numerical results apply specifically to the Mark III FEL, the general scheme is applicable to any tunable free electron laser. In the last section, some preliminary experimental results for the acoustooptic output coupler are reported and discussed.
