Laser Cavity Stability calculator
Stability parameter g₁·g₂ for a two-mirror cavity.
Category: Laser & Ultrafast
Formula: 0 ≤ (1-L/R₁)(1-L/R₂) ≤ 1
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length L | L | mm | 500 |
| R₁ | R1 | mm | 1000 |
| R₂ | R2 | mm | 1000 |
Result with the default inputs
- g₁·g₂: 0.25
- Stable?: ✓ yes
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/laser-cavity-stability?L=500. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
