Matrix representation of geometrical properties of laser cavities

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A method is described in which transport matrices are used to study the geometrical properties of optical cavities for lasers. The conditions for stability are obtained in a very simple way.

Riassunto

Si descrive un metodo che impiega delle matrici di trasporto per studiare le proprietà geometriche delle cavità ottiche usate nei laser. Le condizioni per la stabilità risultano molto semplicemente.
