Abstract
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.
