Question He–Ne laser cavity has a spacing of 15 cm between the mirrors, and the optical mode in the cavity has a diameter of 3 mm (a) Determine the frequency differ ence between adjacent laser modes. (b) Determine the frequency difference be tween all possible cavity modes contained within the laser cavity volume. (c) The He–Ne gas mixture provides optical gain over a frequency width of 1.5 GHz. Compare the number of laser modes that are within this width to the total number of cavity modes within this width.
