A prism reflector of anti-resonant ring configuration
Abstract
Two identical prisms are combined to form an anti-resonant ring reflector, giving total reflection without the use of coatings or roof edges. When used as the total reflector in a Q-switched NdYAG laser this device has shown a damage threshold twice that of a multilayer reflector.
