Abstract :
An antiresonant ring-mirror configuration, the optical analog of a microwave reentrant hybrid tee, is suggested for several potential laser applications including coupled laser cavities, variable laser output coupling, intracavity harmonic output coupling, mode locking, cavity dumping, and pulse code modulation.
