Abstract
Several findings on the optical-axis perturbation of nonplanar ring resonators have been obtained identical by utilizing the augmented 5Â ÃÂ 5 matrix formulation and augmented 6Â ÃÂ 6 matrix formulation, respectively. It has been found out that in the whole region of 0Â <Â L/RÂ <Â 2, the longer the mirror radius, the higher the sensitivity of optical-axis decentration, while the total cavity length is L and the radius of the curvature mirrors is R. The sensitivity of optical-axis tilt in the region of 0Â <Â L/RÂ <Â 2 has been carried out too. The optical-axis decentration and optical-axis tilt inside the region of L/RÂ >Â 2 have been discussed. The differences of the optical-axis perturbation between planar and nonplanar ring resonators have also been analyzed. These interesting findings are important to the cavity design of nonplanar ring resonators.
