Laser-Compton scattering light sources have possibility to generate high quality X- or gamma-rays comparable to large synchrotron facilities with a small laboratory size device, but higher brightness is required for practical use. Therefore, optical cavities, in which laser pulses are accumulated and enhanced, are widely used to increase the number of scattered photons. However, to accumulate laser in a cavity with very high enhancement factor, extremely precise control of cavity length is required to maintain resonance condition and has been a technical issue in developing high enhancement cavities. In order to overcome this issue, we have been developing a self-resonating optical cavity. This cavity is based on a new idea that the system spontaneously selects a wavelength that satisfies the resonance condition, by installing an optical cavity in the outer loop of laser oscillator. Therefore, any active feedback is unnecessary and laser pulses can resonate stably in the cavity with extremely high enhancement factor. In this conference, we will report the current status and future prospects of our self-resonating optical cavity.
