    Abstract:

    Several variations are given of a relatively simple thin film optical cavity construction which can be designed either to induce absorption in a weak absorber or to induce thermal emission from a weak emitter. In both cases the cavity is very selective with respect to polarization and wavelength.

    Standing Waves in a Cavity

    A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:
