  • Abstract
    In this work, we describe a compact cavity with high slope efficiency with one pass inside the gain media and a significant improvement in beam quality with a novel cavity with only three mirrors and a second pass inside the gain media. Moreover, this cavity uses joint stability zones, giving therefore almost constant beam parameters throughout a wide range of pump powers.
