    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Physics

    Background:

    • Conventional stable resonators have limitations in mode volume and power handling.
    • Diffraction loss is a critical factor in resonator performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a novel rimmed optical resonator design.
    • To compare its performance against conventional stable resonators.
    • To identify limitations and propose solutions for high-power operation.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of the rimmed optical resonator.
    • Experimental validation of the theoretical model.
    • Performance evaluation based on mode volume, power output, and mode discrimination.

    Main Results:

    • The rimmed resonator demonstrates superiority over conventional designs for Fresnel numbers greater than unity.
    • Achieved larger mode volume, higher power output, and enhanced discrimination against higher-order modes.
    • Identified a failure mode at high-power operation.

    Conclusions:

    • The rimmed optical resonator is a promising alternative for specific applications requiring large mode volumes and high power.
    • Further research is needed to address high-power operational challenges.
