Rough Mirror as a Quantum State Selector: Analysis and Design

Figure 5

A fragment of the proposed rough upper mirror based on Monte Carlo simulations (10⁶ cycles) for the 1D Ising model with 𝐽/𝑘𝑇≈0.7. Thick red line is the surface profile and dark bars are the “Ising spins.” Mirror material is above the red line (the filled area). The amplitude of roughness 𝜂=0.2, the correlation radius 𝑟=2, and the value of Φ₁≈43.5. Both axes are in units of 𝑙₀=₋ℎ^2/3(2𝑚²𝑔)^−1/3∼5.871 𝜇m. The vertical scale is about 100 times smaller than the horizontal one. The value of 𝜂 can be changed simply by rescaling the vertical axis.
