Abstract
The measurement of mirror reflectivities R of about 1 is of current interest in modern optics. Conventional optical methods such as R/R o — ratio measurements fail in the determination of R ≥ 0.999. The determination of R by measuring the finesse of a passive resonator is possible but complicated due to the expensive experimental set-up /1/.
