Abstract
An analysis of the stability and astigmatic compensation of five- and six- or seven-mirror cavities for mode-locked dye lasers and simple relations for the folding angle to get a maximum stability region are given in this paper. Analytical relations referring to equivalent resonators are deduced. We draw attention to the lack of opportunity to use long cavity approximation to obtain stability diagrams and made some considerations on beam waist sizes.
