A configuration for an unstable, negative branch imaging resonator (NBIR) is disclosed in which coupling mirrors are added so that the Primary and Secondary mirrors are not in direct optical communication with the imaging systems which minimizes the occurrence of the NBIR experiencing magnification runaway and/or odd order aberrations by using coupling mirrors to provide indirect optical communication between the imaging systems and the Primary and Secondary end mirrors.

Unstable disk resonator

In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, a manufacturing system includes a factory system and a field system. The factory system includes a first mount configured to receive, support, and precisely locate a removable line replaceable unit (LRU) having one or more components at a first factory LRU station within the factory system. The received LRU components are capable of adjustment to configure proper operation of the received LRU within the factory system. The field system corresponds to the factory system and includes a second mount configured to receive, support, and precisely locate an LRU removed from the factory system at a first field LRU station corresponding to the first factory LRU station. The removed and received LRU is configured for proper operation within the field system without adjustment of the one or more LRU components.
