Abstract
We present a frequency selective optical setup based on a Gires-Tournois interferometer suitable to enforce single-frequency operation of high power lasers. It is based on a birefringent Gires-Tournois interferometer combined with a λ/4 plate and a polarizer. The high-reflective part of the Gires-Tournois interferometer can be contacted to a heat sink to obtain efficient cooling (similar cooling principle as for the active medium in thin-disk lasers) enabling power scaling up to output powers in the kW range.
