Some clarification about last week session
After having had a chance to go through the math more carefully (and in less of a rush) I fixed a number of mistakes in the slides. This includes some minor scaling errors noted during the session, one which brings my expression for the cavity Finesse into line with the accepted definition, correction of one expression which confused field amplitude and intensity, and (most importantly) reworking the expression for the power reflected from the input port of the cavity. None of the qualitative conclusions discussed are altered, but of course I wanted to get the math right! I posted the reworked slides up at this web address:
