Laser resonator

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6382805

An optical resonator cavity configuration uses a unitary mirror with an oppositely directed convex reflective surface and a concave reflective surface disposed into one fold which concertedly reverses both ends of a beam propagating from a laser rod disposed between two total internal reflection prisms. The prisms are rigidly positioned with perpendicularly crossed virtual rooflines by a compact optical bed. The rooflines of the internal reflection prisms are arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the laser beam and to the optical axis of the optical resonator components. NASA
