L is resonator length.
r1 and r2 are radiuses of mirrors.
(∨ means 'or')
Stability condition is given by 0≤(1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)≤1
->Stable resonators fall in range: (1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)∈(0,1)
->Marginally stable are for: (1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)=0 ∨ (1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)=1
->Unstable ones are for (1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)<0 ∨ (1-L/r1)(1-L/r2)>1

This is correct formula. I have tried this at home, and was very surprised when found that it really works.
