Abstract
A monolithic Nd:glass nonplanar ring laser and method for determining optimal nonplanar ring oscillator geometry for a monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator, including an arrangement for determining for a given material of a specific index of refraction and an accompanying angle of incidence the most suitable geometry for creating a monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator out of said material to produce unidirectional operation with simultaneous high differential loss and lowest overall loss. The index of refraction and angle of incidence being within a predefined range. The geometries include four, five and six bounce monolithic nonplanar ring oscillators.
