Unstable Resonators
摘要
If the g-parameters of the resonator mirrors fulfill the relations g1g2 < 0 or g1g2 > 1, the radiation inside the resonator cannot be characterized by a Gaussian beam. Equation ( 5.11 ) indicates that in these cases the Gaussian beam radii become complex quantities. The steady state field distributions are not given by Gauss-Hermite or Gauss-Laguerre polynomials.
