Abstract
We measure experimentally the spatial intensity profiles and resonant frequencies of the transverse modes of nearly hemispherical microcavities with cavity length and mirror curvatures below 10 microm. These resonators possess axially symmetric Gauss-Laguerre-like modes, but do not display the frequency degeneracies typical of large-scale optical cavities. It is possible to interpret these results using a paraxial model of cavity propagation that includes nonparabolic optical elements.
