Abstract
We present a detailed theoretical analysis for the determination of the total internal loss in Fabry-Perot resonators based on Fourier analysis of the emission or transmission spectrum. The observation of higher-order harmonics and their relative height in the Fourier-transformed spectrum allow us to quantify the total resonator loss. Because this new method considers both contrast and shape of the Fabry-Perot fringes it is especially well suited for the evaluation of high-finesse laser resonators such as those of vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers in terms of propagation loss/gain.
