  • Calculated and described stability maps for varying L/R ratios and image rotation (rho).

    • Main Results:

    • Identified asymmetric stability maps for 0 < L/R < 2, with variations based on rho.
    • Discovered stable regions in extended parameter space (L/R > 2).
    • Observed that Gaussian mode characteristics, including spot size azimuth angles, vary with rho and L/R, and location within the cavity.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonplanar ring resonators exhibit distinct stability and mode behaviors compared to planar resonators.
    • Design parameters like L/R and rho significantly impact resonator performance.
    • These findings provide valuable insights for the design and application of nonplanar ring resonators.
