Orthogonal property of optical resonator eigenmodes

Published Jan 1, 1984• 0 citations

Abstract

In. this note a general orthogonal property of optical resonator eigenmodes is analyzed. The orthogonality in the (u*, U) sense of the eigonmodes U and their adjoint modes u is obtained.

Orthogonality properties of phase conjugate optical resonators

The orthogonality properties of the eigenmodes of general optical resonators which have a phase conjugate mirror at one end are derived. It is shown that essentially these are biorthogonal relations as in conventional resonators, which are satisfied between the set of modes propagating in one direction around the resonator and the adjoint set of modes propagating in the reversed direction.

Orthogonality properties of transverse eigenmodes of phase conjugate optical resonators

The orthogonality properties of the transverse eigenmodes of optical resonators which have phase conjugate mirrors at both ends are derived. As in conventional resonators and also resonators with only one phase conjugate mirror, it is shown that the transverse eigenmodes are essentially biorthogonal, a relation which is satisfied between the set of modes propagating in one direction around the resonator and the adjoint set of modes propagating in the reverse direction.

Generalized mode theory of conventional and phase-conjugate resonators

Moshe Nazarathy, Amos A. Hardy, Joseph Shamir

The phase-conjugation operator is investigated in the context of the canonical operator theory of first-order optics, which was introduced in a previous series of articles. The matrix representation of this operator and its action on the generalized modes are derived, elucidating the relation between forward and reversed propagation in this new context. The resulting formalism makes possible the derivation of the eigenmodes of conventional and phase-conjugated resonators with loss or gain. Various resonator properties—confinement, stability, mode biorthogonality, and real or complex character of the spot-size parameter—simply follow from the guiding-ray-label representation.

Optical properties of dual-state Fabry–Perot étalons

Pochi Yeh, D. Botez, Claire Gu

We consider the optical properties of dual-state Fabry-Perot étalons where both the cavity and the external media can support two eigenmodes with different refractive indices. A matrix formulation is developed to analyze resonant transmission of such étalons. The results are presented and discussed. In particular, the results can be employed to explain the resonances of phase-locked arrays of antiguides.

QUANTUM OPTICS, FROM ONE MODE TO MANY MODES

Claude Fabre

These lectures form a general introduction to the domain of Quantum Optics, with a special emphasis on the notion of field eigenmodes that are necessary to describe the quantum effects in light and define the photons: possibility of changing the basis of field eigenmodes and choosing the most appropriate one, definition of intrinsic properties, independent of the choice of basis. Are successively studied the single mode quantum effects, the quantum correlations existing in bimodal systems, and some interesting features of highly multimode systems such as the optical images.
