Abstract :
A method to generate stable and tunable single longitudinal mode (SLM) radiation from a multi-interferometric cavity which can be considered as the combination of one Michelson cavity and two Fox-Smith cavities is presented. SLM pulse output of 300 mJ has been obtained at repetition rate of 20 Hz.
