Hello! I am designing a two-mirror cavity for an experiment. For the properties I need, I ended up using a 9.8 cm long cavity, with the 2 mirrors both having a 5 cm radius of curvature. Using Gaussian beam propagation formulas, I can easily compute most of the parameters I need (e.g., behavior with variation in length). However, I am not sure how to account for angular misalignments of the mirrors with respect to the axis connecting their centers. Is there a way to do this analytically (even approximately)? Even an order of magnitude estimate would be good. Thank you!

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
