	Charge stripping of hydrogen ions is the first stage of any high intensity proton accelerator. To achieve higher-charge proton sources, the stripping efficiency must be improved, especially in the context of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A method based on laser-ion interaction has a great potential for increasing efficiency. The approach of this proposed project is to design a laser cavity based on the Recirculation Injection by Nonlinear Gating (RING) technique. This paper reports on the progress of the development of the RING cavity.

Charge stripping of hydrogen ions is the first stage of any high intensity proton accelerator. To achieve higher-charge proton sources, the stripping efficiency must be improved, especially in the context of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A method based on laser-ion interaction has a great potential for increasing efficiency. The approach of this proposed project is to design a laser cavity based on the Recirculation Injection by Nonlinear Gating (RING) technique. This paper reports on the progress of the development of the RING cavity.
