Within a future photon-collider based on the infrastructure of ILC the energy of near-infrared laser photons will be boosted by Compton backscattering on a high energy electron beam to well above 100 GeV. By reason of luminosity, an extremely powerful lasersystem is required that will exceed today's state-of-the-art capabilities. An auxiliary cavity for resonantly enhancing the optical peak-power can relax demands on the power output of the laser. In this paper a possible design and the static aspects of a passive cavity are discussed.
