Abstract
An analytical model of a traveling-wave optical resonator with total-internal-reflection mirrors is studied. It is shown that the number of reflections from the mirrors can be increased manifold without attenuation of the light wave in comparison with Fabry-Perot resonators. Ways to eliminate edge effects and design solutions to compensate angular errors in manufacturing the resonator are considered.
