Abstract
We show that the cavity round-trip Gouy phase leads to pulse-to-pulse varia tion of the absolute phase and temporal profile of circulating few- or sing le-cycle pulses in empty resonators. This pulse-to-pulse variation can be e liminated by the proper insertion of a lens into the cavity. An application to terahertz resonators with phase-locked feedback is discussed, (C) 2000 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(00)01211-4].
