Question

A two mirror resonator is formed by a convex mirror of radius R1=?1.0 m and a concave mirror of radius R2= 1.5 m. What are the maximum and minimum possible mirror separations, if this is to remain a stable resonator? Draw stable ray configuration for the two marginal cases.

Step 1

To determine the maximum and minimum possible mirror separations, we need to use the stability condition for a two-mirror resonator, which is given by: g1g2 < 1 + (L/2R1)(L/2R2) where g1 and g2 are the mirror separation distances from the focal points of the Show more…
