HIGH-STABILITY RESONATOR FOR PULSED SOLID-STATE LASERS

We propose a new resonator configuration which has high stability agai nst mirror misalignment and also has high damage threshold suitable fo r pulsed laser operation. It was experimentally shown that in our new resonator scheme with appropriate parameters; the output energy was pr actically stable for mirror misalignment tilting angle up to +/-30 mra d, which is 20 times larger than that with ordinary resonator configur ations.
