Description

The polarisation losses in a ring cavity, formed by total-internal-reflection prisms, were analysed. All the sources of the polarisation losses are indicated and expressions for their calculation are presented. The limit to loss reduction in cavities of this kind, set by the difference between the radii of curvature of the radiation wavefront and of the refracting prism faces, was determined.
