ABSTRACT:
An improvement of a common-pass, decentered, annular ring resonator (CPDARR) in which the waxicon mirror-reflector component 18 is formed with five reflecting surfaces, two on the central axicon 40, 42 and three on the outer ring axicon 44,46,48. The orientation and curvature of the reflecting surfaces is designed to provide three reflections of an input laser beam impinging on the inner reflector 40 of the central axicon and two reflections of an input wave impinging on the outer reflector surface 48 of the ring axicon (or vice versa). The number of reflections in the waxicon 18 combined with the two reflections in the rear ring mirror 20 of the CPDARR allows all reflecting surfaces to be coated with conventional high-reflectance coating and still provide a uniform-polarity output laser beam from the CPDARR.
