Folded Cavity Design For A Ruby Resonator
Abstract
A folded cavity laser resonator operating in the TEMoo mode has been built and tested. The new oscillator configuration leads to an increase in efficiency and to better line narrowing due to the increased number of passes through the laser rod and tuning elements, respectively. The modification is shown to lead to cavity ruggedization.
