Figure 9.9 Laser cavity design. Four cavities are shown. The first three correspond to the
cavities in Figure 9.8. A flat output coupler at z = 0, and a concave back mirror at z =−6
(A) produce a collimated beam. The opposite configuration (B) produces a diverging output
beam at z =+6. Two identical concave mirrors at z 3 produce a waist in the center
(C). With the front mirror at z =−3 and the back mirror at z =−9 (D), the output beam is
converging.
