Efficient operator method for modelling mode mixing in misaligned optical cavities
William J. Hughes, Thomas H. Doherty, Jacob A. Blackmore +2
The transverse field structure and diffraction loss of the resonant modes of Fabry-Pérot optical cavities are acutely sensitive to the alignment and shape of the mirror substrates.…

Mode mixing and losses in misaligned microcavities
William J. Hughes, Thomas H. Doherty, Jacob A. Blackmore +2
We present a study on the optical losses of Fabry-Pérot cavities subject to realistic transverse mirror misalignment. We consider mirrors of the two most prevalent surface forms: i…
