Consider the transmittance of the variable-input-frequency Fabry-Perot cavity shown in Figure 8-15. Assume that the Fabry-Perot cavity used has a length of 10 cm and that the nominal frequency of the laser input is 4.53 × 1014 Hz. Find

a. The finesse, , of the cavity.


b. The free spectral range, vfsr, of the transmittance.


c. The FWHM, 2Δv1/2, of a transmittance peak.


d. The quality factor, Q, of the cavity.


e. The photon lifetime, τp, of the cavity.
