Common pass decentered annular ring resonator
Abstract
An advanced annular resonator has been developed for extracting power from an annular gain region. The new resonator possesses improved mode control and polarization control compared with previous concepts. The principles of operation of the new resonator are described, including a discussion of several different implementation options. A specific embodiment was selected for detailed evaluation. For the specific design, performance predictions based on computer simulation are presented.
