Abstract
An optically pulsed laser with an unstable resonator configuration is described with two feedback beams. The laser relies on adjoint mode feedback with a single modulator in the low power feedback beam path. The laser is characterized by a two coupled adjoint feedback beams each configured to pass through the modulator in one direction only, thereby doubling the output power potential of the laser.
