Outline • Why a nonplanar cavity 1.Compact size(mechanical stability, vacuum) 2.No reverse beam 3.Easy adapt to the different frequencies 4. Elliptic particle beam astigmatic eigen mode of the cavity = nonplanar cavity • Cavity for ATF (KEK) 1. Mode structure 2. Construction • Requirements for laser to cavity tight locking - requirements for electronics - requirements for actuators • Digital Feedback for locking a pulse laser to the optical cavity
