Mode volume of electromagnetic resonators: let us try giving credit where it is due

Optics 2020-11-20 v2

Abstract

The mode volume is a very important figure of merits, which transversally arouse the physics and applications of electromagnetic cavities. Its modern definition was not obtained simply, and I try to briefly summarize the evolution of ideas. I also incidentally address considerations on scientific publishing policy in the epilogue.
