An optical resonator has an internal cavity with an output coupler, an end mirror, and one or more active mirror amplifiers (AMAs) that are arranged in a manner to form a laser radiation propagation path within the cavity which substantially has the form of a star polygon trajectory.

Componentry is added to a conventional universal remote device to enable it to cooperate with a set to beacon to position a cursor or arrow on a television or other display screen and to allow the remote control to perform the functions of a conventional personal computer &ldquo;mouse&rdquo; in connection with the cursor, such as, for example, &ldquo;clicking&rdquo; on icons on the screen. A wide angle sensor and a stepped beacon pulse are used to increase range of the device, and the beacon pulse sent to the infrared sensor is automatically disabled upon detection of activity on the universal remote section.
