In a stable cavity repeated bounces between the mirrors will select the mode with the lowest overall losses.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: If you put light in a cavity (even just two mirrors facing each other) it will diffract , and the part of it that hits the mirror will be reflected. After a few bounces it will settle into a stable pattern with minimal losses.
Visualization obtained letting the (scalar) field diffract, then setting to zero everything that doesn't hit the mirror, and let the remaining field diffract again. |
