Cavity Ring-Down Determination of the Reflectivity and Transmittance of Low Loss Optical Components Reflectivity values R > 99 % and transmittance values T > 99 % of Low Loss optical components can be measured very exactly by Cavity Ring-Down time measurements. Compared to measurements in a photospectrometer this method has three main advantages:

major step, the cavity is fine-adjusted using the reflection and transmission spots of the He–Ne laser beam. Finally, the ring-down time is maximized. Steps 1–2 are, in essence, identical to most cavity-alignment procedures reported by other authors.

Cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) measures total loss in order to determine reflectivity High reflectivity mirrors, with reflectivity ranging from 99.8% up to 99.999%, are essential

Alternatively, the task of measuring the mirror reflectivity is equivalent to mea- suring the photon lifetime in a cavity composed of the mirrors under study. By using the cavity ring-down method (CRD, see below), the direct measurement of the cavity decay time for a cavity of a known length allows us to deduce the cavity losses and, therefore

2006/6/17 · detection of no 2 at 532 nm has several other advantages: highly reflective cavity ring-down mirrors are commercially available for this wavelength region, the absorption cross section of no 2 at 532 nm is relatively large, the only other major gas phase atmospheric absorber is o 3 [ burkholder and talukdar, 1994; rothman et al., 2005 ], and the

reflectivity R and mirror-to-mirror distance L, the ring-down time constant is given by τ0 L cT −1 where c is the speed of light and T 1−R is the mirror transmit-tance. The absorption coefficient of the cavity medium is inferred by measuring small changes in the ring-down time, and its limit of detection is nominally equal to ετTL−1

cavity, referred to as the ring-down timet, the reflectivity of the mirrors can be determined. When the cavity contains an absor gas, an additional optical loss occurs which causes a decrease in the ring-down time. By recording how the in-verse of the ring-down
