Popis: It is shown that three different critical geometries can exist for a half-symmetric resonator with an internal lens of variable focal length. Indeed, in addition to the previously demonstrated critical geometry leading to a mode size on the spherical mirror which is stationary with respect to the focal length, two other geometries give a stationary mode size on the plane mirror. An experimental arrangement leads to a verification of the theoretical predictions.
