Cavity dispersion equation Δλ ≈ Δθ(∂θ/∂λ) ^{– 1}: a note on its origin

Abstract

A simple derivation of the cavity dispersion equation for high-gain pulsed lasers, Δλ ≈ Δθ(∂θ/∂λ) ^{– 1} , is provided by using Dirac's notation for probability amplitudes as applied to the analysis of dispersive cavities.
