An analysis is given of the effect of introducing an angle-selecting aperture into a Fabry–Perot laser interferometer. In the model exemplified, the Fox and Li integral equation relating transverse-mode propagation in an infinite-strip mirror resonator is modified to include such an aperture, defined in terms of an Angular number A. Results are given for the effect of this aperture on the power loss and phase shift per transit of the lowest-order even mode. The number of transits to convergence of an initially launched plane wave is also evaluated as a function of A, to yield a measure of the selective attenuation of higher-order modes of the laser resonator.

It is highly desirable to have a compact laser interferometer for detecting gravitational waves. Here, a small-sized tabletop laser interferometer with Fabry–Perot resonators consisting of two spatially distributed “mirrors” for detecting gravitational waves is proposed. It is shown that the spectral resolution of 10−23 cm−1 can be achieved at a distance between mirrors of only 1–3 m. The influence of light absorption in crystals on the limiting resolution of such resonators is also studied. A higher sensitivity of the interferometer to shorter-wave laser radiation is shown. A method for detecting gravitational waves is proposed based on the measurement of the correlation function of the radiation intensities of non-zero-order resonant modes from the two arms of the Mach–Zehnder interferometer.
