Application of ray tracing to the design of a monolithic nonplanar ring laser

This paper presents some simple and useful-ray tracing techniques for the design of a monolithic nonplanar solid-state ring laser. With appropriate constraints the approach gives a complete cavity stability map and the angular and dimensional tolerances required for fabrication.
