Abstract

We proposed a new unstable resonator, in which forward-mode and backward-mode coupled each other, for low gain large bore laser media such as COIL. The calculations showed that the new unstable resonator can be useful for COIL, which does not oscillate with the usual unstable resonators. The parameters of the resonator for the best performance are also gotten for COIL and carbon-dioxide laser medium.
