Abstract
The experimental operation of a three-mirror polarized laser cavity is described which is substantially insensitive to either residual or thermally induced birefringence in a glass laser rod, the use of which produces a remarkable improvement in repetition rate over that possible with a conventional two-mirror cavity.
