Such two-mirror arrangement is normally called an {\it optical cavity}. The light in a cavity by definition bounces -back and forth many time before escaping; the idea of such a cavity is crucial for the construction of a laser. +back and forth many times before escaping; the idea of such a cavity is crucial for the construction of a laser. Any light transmitted through such cavity is a product of interference between beams transmitted at each bounce as diagrammed in Figure~\ref{fpfig1}. When the incident ray arrives at interface point $A$, a fraction $t$ is transmitted and the remaining fraction $r$ is reflected, such that $t + r = 1$ ( this assumes no light is lost |
