Loss function for characterizing cavities

Document #:

LIGO-T1200037-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

Loss function maps the spatial aberration spectrum to the loss of the cavity mode. This discuss the basics of this function and one case example is shown. A setup code for SIS is distributed so that other cases can be calculated.
