Phys. Rev. A 64, 033804 (2001) [7 pages]Characterization of high-finesse mirrors: Loss, phase shifts, and mode structure in an optical cavityReceived 27 January 2001; published 13 August 2001 An extensive characterization of high-finesse optical cavities used in cavity QED experiments is described. Different techniques in the measurement of the loss and phase shifts associated with the mirror coatings are discussed and their agreement shown. Issues of cavity-field mode structure supported by the dielectric coatings are related to our effort to achieve the strongest possible coupling between an atom and the cavity. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
