Refined beam expansion method for unstable resonator modes

A refined and simplified version of the beam expansion method for computing the modes of unstable resonators is presented here.The principle of the beam expansion method is to express the field pattern on a basis of Hermite-Gaussian functions. Propagating each individual component around the resonat...
