Abstract
In this letter, we discussed the theoretical requirements of resonator stability, and found that resonator with G1*G2*=1/2 or closer to it was deep stable and insensitive to the thermal lens of laser crystal. The resonator was designed according to the obtained theoretical results. Laser with optimized concavo-convex cavity was found to meet the condition of violent change of environment temperature and the variation of thermal lens of laser crystal by our experiments.
