Abstract

Fabry-Perot interferometer configuration consisting of a single mode optical fiber end coupled to an open cavity has been studied. The established fields inside the open cavity due to excited HE₁₁ mode, transmission and reflection coefficients incorporating diffraction effects from the fiber end were formulated using the mode matching method. A semi-analytical algorithm that accounts for the vector nature of the fields was developed and evaluated. Numerical simulations were verified against experimental measurements
