Abstract

It is described the method and the laser system for measure of high quality optical cavity characteristics based on the multibeam Interferometric effects. The discussion of the opportunity to make coefficients of total and diffraction cavity loss measurements, reflectivity measurements of low-loss highly reflecting mirror coatings and gain measurements of the active substance is given. The possibility to control of the resonance cavity spectrum, a level of selection, a quality of the mirrors alignment and an accuracy of the cavity monoblock making is discussed. It is shown that measurement method and system are suitable for measure R before 0.9999 and has own primary range of application.
