    Abstract

    Using ray transfer matrix, we have computed beam radii and mode volumes in the folded resonutor and the dependence on mirror curvature of resonator and the parameter a of the gas plasma negative lens. Results indicate that folded resonator configuration used in a laser with longer plasma length, not only reduces space length of the device, but also possesses significance for obtaining stable high power output taking into account of the effect of negative plasma lens.
