Abstract

By utilizing the generalized ray matrix for spherical mirror reflection, two new sensitivity factors are introduced considering the perturbation of the optical-axis caused by the radial and axial displacements of a spherical mirror in a nonplanar ring resonator. Based on this, a novel way for finding the location of the singular points of the sensitivity factors is presented. It is found that some nonplanar ring resonators with the effective modes may have the singular points of the sensitivity factors. The unsuitable regions for nonplanar ring resonators are also obtained from the perspective of the sensitivity factors.
