Abstract
An extensive characterization of high-finesse optical cavities used in cavi ty QED experiments is described. Different techniques in the measurement of the loss and phase shifts associated with the mirror coatings are discusse d and their agreement shown. Issues of cavity-field mode structure supporte d by the dielectric coatings are related to our effort to achieve the stron gest possible coupling between an atom and the cavity.
