Modeling circulating cavity fields using the discrete linear canonical transform
arXiv:2106.03367 · doi:10.1364/JOSAA.433575
Abstract
Fabry-Perot cavities are central to many optical measurement systems. In high precision experiments, such as aLIGO and AdV, coupled cavities are often required leading to complex optical dynamics, particularly when optical imperfections are considered. We show, for the first time, that discrete LCTs can be used to compute circulating optical fields for cavities in which the optics have arbitrary apertures, reflectance and transmittance profiles, and shape. We compare the predictions of LCT models with those of alternative methods. To further highlight the utility of the LCT, we present a case study of point absorbers on the aLIGO mirrors and compare with recently published results.
