Abstract
Plano-concave optical microresonators (PCMRs) are optical microcavities formed of one planar and one concave mirror separated by a spacer. PCMRs illuminated by Gaussian laser beams are used as sensors and filters in fields including quantum electrodynamics, temperature sensing, and photoacoustic imaging. To predict characteristics such as the sensitivity of PCMRs, a model of Gaussian beam propagation through PCMRs based on the ABCD matrix method was developed. To validate the model, interferometer transfer functions (ITFs) calculated for a range of PCMRs and beams were compared to experimental measurements. A good agreement was observed, suggesting the model is valid. It could therefore constitute a useful tool for designing and evaluating PCMR systems in various fields. The computer code implementing the model has been made available online.
