Abstract
Although it is well known that structural disorder has a strong impact on a resonant optical device's performance, the exact relationship still needs clarification. This article presents the effective refractive-index approximation, an elegant method for simple, quantitative, and comprehensive insight into the link between a resonator's structural disorder and the consequent deterioration of its optical performance. The proposed method is validated both theoretically, against transfer-matrix simulations, and experimentally, by comparison to measured properties of highly disordered Bragg reflectors.
