Given an integer k > 2, let S(k) be the space of complete embedded singly periodic minimal surfaces in R 3 , which in the quotient have genus zero and 2k Scherk-type ends. Surfaces in S(k) can be proven to be proper, a condition under which the asymptotic geometry of the surfaces is'well known. It is also known that S(2) consists of the 1-parameter family of singly periodic Scherk minimal surfaces. We prove that for each k ≥ 3, there exists a natural one-to-one correspondence between S(k) and the space of convex unitary nonspecial polygons through the map which assigns to each M ∈ S(k) the polygon whose edges are the flux vectors at the ends of M (a special polygon is a parallelogram with two sides of length 1 and two sides of length k - 1). As consequence, S(k) reduces to the saddle towers constructed by Karcher.
