Abstract
Multiple-pass optical cells with dense spot patterns are useful for many applications, especially when the cell volume must be minimized relative to the optical path length. Present methods to achieve these dense patterns require expensive, highly precise astigmatic mirrors and complex alignment procedures. This work describes a new, simpler, and less demanding mirror system, comprising either a pair of cylindrical mirrors or one cylindrical and one spherical mirror.
