Abstract
We have tested a multiple pass amplifier configuration using a Cassegrain type telescope. This arrangement is compact and makes efficient use of the energy stored in the laser glass. However, Eimerl1 has postulated that this allows alternative paths through the gain media which lead to increased and amplified spontaneous emission.
