Abstract
An electro-optical system includes a plurality of electromagnetic gain media having a corresponding plurality of apertures. The apertures are disposed in a predetermined spatial distribution. The system further includes at least one refracting surface disposed to intercept energy from the plurality of apertures and a reflecting surface to direct portions of the intercepted energy back through the at least one refracting surface and back toward the plurality of apertures. The return energy is distributed about the plurality of apertures.
