Output characteristics of corner cube mirror resonators

The corner cube mirror cavity consists of a corner cube mirror as the totally reflecting mirror and a parallel flat partially reflecting mirror as the output mirror. This paper presents an experimental study of the anti-misalignment stability and the output characteristics of the corner cube cavity laser compared with the plano-concave cavity and the plane-parallel cavity lasers. When the corner cube mirror is deflected and the misalignment angle turns to 16 mrad, the single-pulse output energy of the corner cube cavity decreases 9.2%, and the near-field laser spot figures of the corner cube cavity laser have little change; When the concave mirror is deflected and the misalignment angle turns to 0.4 mrad, the single-pulse output energy of the plano-concave cavity laser decreases 9%, and th
