Resonator

A volume, bounded at least in part by highly reflecting surfaces, in which Light of particularly discrete frequencies can set up standing Wave models of low loss. Often, in Laser work, the resonator contains two facing mirrors that may either be flat (Fabry-Perot resonator) or have some spherical curvature.
