Abstract :
The folding resonators having two and more waveguides and quasioptically concerned with the system of turning mirrors (STM) are used for decreasing of laser overall dimensions. STM consisting of one or two mirrors is usually used. In the first case the mirror is arranged on the axis crossing of matched waveguides. It can be both flat and spherical. The flat mirror is placed at the minimum distance from the ends of waveguides for decrease of energy losses of modes, which are the result of diffraction on the open sections. Energy losses are analysed
