    Abstract: A cylindrically shaped gain medium for a laser resonant cavity. The gain medium has an outer cylindrical side surface and two opposing end faces. An annular groove is formed in the side surface. An energy source excites the gain medium to create a laser beam inside the cavity. The laser beam passes longitudinally through the gain medium. The annular groove defines an annular aperture inside the gain medium for the laser beam. The annular aperture has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the side surface and the end faces.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to multi-element antenna clusters or arrays for the reception and transmission of radio waves for direction-finding, navigation aid and emitter and/or receiver location purposes. In particular, it relates to arrangements of multiple antennas whereby the direction of propagation (arrival or departure) of a wavefront is determined from a combination of the amplitudes of phasor (or total individual antenna output) differences between pairs of antennas, said arrangements being along certain geometrical patterns, such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, an open straight line, etc., with at least one longest dimension measuring more than one wavelength of the incident or departing wave. Although described in terms of electromagnetic waves and hence antennas as receiving sensors or radiators, this invention in reality applies to any other form of propagating waveborne energy, such as acoustic, ultrasonic, seismic, etc.
