Numerical procedures for solving nonsymmetric eigenvalue problems associated with optical resonators
Abstract:
The Prony method is extended to handle the nonsymmetric algebraic eigenvalue problem and improved to search automatically for the number of dominant eigenvalues. A simple iterative algorithm is given to compute the associated eigenvectors. Resolution studies using the QR method are made in order to determine the accuracy of the matrix approximation. Numerical results are given for both simple well defined resonators and more complex advanced designs containing multiple propagation geometries and misaligned mirrors.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first column of the Routh...
