Efficient operator method for modeling mode mixing in misaligned optical cavities

The transverse field structure and diffraction loss of the resonant modes of Fabry-Pérot optical cavities are acutely sensitive to the alignment and shape of the mirror substrates. We develop extensions to the mode-mixing method applicable to arbitrary mirror shapes, which both facilitate fast calcu...
