Features: The book employs the graphical analysis and design method of optical resonators developed by Professor Zhang Guangyin, known as the transformation circle method, to analyze and design various optical resonators. Compared to the commonly used ray matrix analysis method, this approach offers clear and intuitive physical images, making it easier to identify optimal design solutions for optical resonators and simplifying calculations. The book introduces a series of new concepts and ideas, including the transformation circle graphical method, optical stabilizers, transformation rules for equivalent lens groups, astigmatism-compensating cavities, methods for controlling the dynamic stability of resonators, dynamic-sensitive cavities, adaptive dynamic-stabilized cavities, and design methods for separation parameters of optical resonators. These contributions provide significant reference value for solving the design of various complex resonators, especially for the resonator design of current-developing all-solid-state lasers and high-power, high-brightness solid-state lasers. Some of the book's achievements have been adopted by certain domestic institutions. The book is systematically presented and progresses in a logical order, making it a valuable reference for scientists and engineers engaged in laser resonator design, as well as suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in optics and laser technology.
