The mode profile of a coupled optical cavity often exhibits a resonant doublet, which arises from the strong coupling between its sub-cavities. Traditional readout methods rely on setting fields of different frequencies to be resonant in…
A mirror that reflects light fully and yet is transparent appears paradoxical. Current so-called transparent or "one-way" mirrors are not perfectly reflective and thus can be distinguished from a standard mirror. Constructing a transparent…
