Abstract
A compact laser system with a folded annular resonator cavity defined by spherical mirrors (), enabling the generation of a multipass beam path between the mirrors, each beam pass inclined at a small angle to the axis between the mirrors to form a zig-zag path () therebetween. A long optical path is achieved within a short physical structure. The optical resonator cavity is confined in the gap between two cylindrical coaxial electrodes () receiving RF power to excite the lasing gas. Apertures () are provided in the main cavity mirrors (), with a high reflectivity end mirror () behind one aperture at one end and a partially reflective output coupler () at the other end. A channeled ceramic cylindrical element () within the annular shaped gap between the two cylindrical electrodes confines the lasing gas to the channels ().
