Weber H. Laser Resonators and Beam Propagation: Fundamentals, Advanced Concepts and Applications

2nd Edition. — Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005. XXV, 795 p. — (Springer Series in Optical Sciences).Optical Resonators provides a detailed discussion of the properties of optical resonators for lasers from basic theory to recent research. In addition to describing the fundamental theories of resonators such as geometrical optics, diffraction, and polarisation the characteristics of all important resonator schemes and their calculation are presented. Experimental examples, practical problems and a collection of measurement techniques support the comprehensive treatment of the subject.
