Vertical laser cavity with a non-planar top mirror

A vertical laser cavity includes a non-planar top mirror in order to improve the optical performance of the laser cavity. In one approach, the top mirror is curved to form a plano-concave geometry with the bottom mirror, as opposed to the typical plano-plano geometry. This can reduce diffraction los...

Zusammenfassung:A vertical laser cavity includes a non-planar top mirror in order to improve the optical performance of the laser cavity. In one approach, the top mirror is curved to form a plano-concave geometry with the bottom mirror, as opposed to the typical plano-plano geometry. This can reduce diffraction losses and otherwise improve optical performance.
