Abstract

A theory of excitation of waveguide modes in an open two-mirror cavity containing layers with positive and negative refractive indices is proposed. Relations between the mirror curvatures and the thicknesses and refractive indexes of the layers at which the main mode has the Gaussian beam structure are derived. The stability of such cavities is analyzed.
