    Difference between Waveguides and Resonators

    I claim that waveguides are resonators because a resonator is defined as a device which can produce you normal modes of some ' mathematical object' you're looking for, which in waveguide's case is Electromagnetic fields ( waveguide can produce normal modes called TE and TM ). Am I right?

    Laser that doesn't have a resonator?

    Is it possible to have a laser without a resonator? My guess is you can as you would still get some proportion of light coming from the inverted medium. My question is how would this light be different (from that of a laser with a resonator) and are there any practical uses for such a device?
