Resonance
s found in certain types of optical cavity
that are cylindrical, spherical, and ellipsoidal in shape
. Conditions under which the resonances occur dependent on shape as well as refractive index of material within the optical cavity, and normally characterized by two integers, namely, order number and mode number.
Resonance
In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at a greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others. These are known as the system's resonant frequencies...

Optical cavity
An optical cavity or optical resonator is an arrangement of mirrors that forms a standing wave cavity resonator for light waves. Optical cavities are a major component of lasers, surrounding the gain medium and providing feedback of the laser light. They are also used in optical parametric...

Shape
The shape of an object located in some space is a geometrical description of the part of that space occupied by the object, as determined by its external boundary – abstracting from location and orientation in space, size, and other properties such as colour, content, and material...
