Analyses of Energy Extraction Efficiency of Unstable Resonators.

Abstract

Energy extraction efficiency of a telescopic resonator is studied both analytically and numerically. It is shown that the usual Rigrod type calculations are not valid for systems with curved mirrors. A generalized Rigrod analysis is presented and compared with the numerical results. Experimental measurements related to NRL's laser systems are proposed based on the present modeling.
