Metal waveguide resonator with a tilted mirror

A study was made of the influence of misalignment of the plane mirrors of a metal waveguide resonator for the submillimtre laser (λ = 0,4326 mm ) on the energy losses, polarization and mode structure of the radiation. It was found that misalignment of the resonator only weakly affected the energy losses, but exerted a strong influence on the mode structure and polarization of the radiation
