Abstract
Coupled-cavity lasers are generally reduced by a plane wave treatment of th e various mirror pairs, even though laser optics is rather based on beams h aving a finite lateral extent. We show that this method is questionable by investigating the reflectivity and transmission of a Fabry-Perot Interferom eter when the input is a TEM,,, TEM,,, and TEM,, beams, in the multi-freque ncy case.
