Abstract
A theory of coupled open resonators with an inclined beam splitter is constructed on the basis of numerical solution of integral equations with allowance for ohmic and diffraction losses caused by finiteness of mirror sizes. High selectivity of longitudinal modes is shown to be possible with the effective extraction in the form of a wave beam and excess of the useful radiation power over the internal loss.
