Signal loss estimation using mode mismatch

Document #:

LIGO-T1000284-x0

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

The mode overlapping is often used to estimate the cavity power. This document discusses the relation and it is demonstrated that it is a wrong assumption that the loss can be calculated from the mode overlapping.
