Prism Resonators
摘要
Stable resonators as well as unstable resonators exhibit a relatively high sensitivity to mirror misalignment. Typical tilt angles at which the output power has decreased by 10% are in the range between 0.1 mrad and 1 mrad. In some applications these angles may be too low to ensure a reliable performance over a long period of time. The misalignment sensitivity can be decreased considerably by using prisms as the resonator mirrors.
