Corner cube prism Resonator with polarized output: New configuration

摘要

A resonator configuration is proposed in which HR mirror is used in a folded configuration employing a Corner cubeprism. Variable output is obtained by rotation of Quarter wave Plate. Two Resonator configurations are presented.Round trip Jones Matrix is calculated & loss factor is plotted against angle of rotation of Quarter wave plate for bothconfigurations. Nd:YAG laser built in configuration 1 is described. Effect of rotation of corner cube prism on the lossIlictor & effect ofmisalignment ofHR mirror on output energy is investigated.
