The author has investigated several resonator designs for Lee Laser Inc. as outlined in the Short-Term Technical Assistance Project, case number 93119. The scope of this work was to identify various resonator options which would be suitable for use in an intra-cavity doubled Nd:YAG laser and compatible with Lee Laser hardware. This work consisted of computer modeling of laser resonators to identify mirror curvatures, distances, beam sizes, and sensitivity to thermal loading of the laser rod
