Approximate orthogonality relation for the modes of an open cavity

A simple orthogonality relation for the modes of an open cavity is obtained in the scalar field approximation. The relation directly follows from the wave equation and boundary condition at the cavity mirrors and can be applied for a broad class of systems with a cavity that can contain a random gai...

Summary:A simple orthogonality relation for the modes of an open cavity is obtained in the scalar field approximation. The relation directly follows from the wave equation and boundary condition at the cavity mirrors and can be applied for a broad class of systems with a cavity that can contain a random gain medium with a weak dispersion.
