A symmetric confocal resonator with mirror spacing d = 16cm,mirror reflectances 0.995, and n =1 is used in a laser operating atλo = 1μm.
a) Find the radii of curvature of the mirrors.
b) Find the waist of the (0,0) Gaussian) mode.
c) Sketch the intensity distribution of the (1,0) modes at oneof the mirrors and determine the distance between its two peaks.
d)Determine the resonance frequencies of the (0,0) and (1,0)modes.
e) Assuming that losses arise only from imperfect mirrorreflectances, determine the distributed resonator loss coefficient αr
