    Cell typeSchematic of cellPerformance index (Mirror spacing d, optical path L, the number of spots on a single mirror N)AdvantagesDisadvantages
    White cellL = 2(N+1)dAdjustable optical pathPoor stability, low mirror utilization rate
    Chernin cellL = 2(N+1)dAdjustable optical path, High mirror utilizationComplex structure and large volume
    Herriott cellL = 2NdStable structure, high mirror utilization rate, low costOptical path is not adjustable, low mirror utilization
    Astigmatic mirror cellL = 2NdHigh mirror utilizationExpensive, difficult to manufacture and calibrate
    Cylinder cellL = 2NdHigh mirror utilizationHigh cost and difficult calibration
    Dense pattern sphericalmirror cellL = 2NdAdjustable optical path, high mirror utilization rate, stable structureIt requires high reflectivity of lens
    Circular multipass cellL=pDcosπ21-2qp(Peak number p, the density of a pentagram q, diameter of ring D)Simple structure, easy to calibrate, light path adjustableMore difficult to process
