Analytical Approximations of Whispering Gallery Modes in Anisotropic Ellipsoidal Resonators
Figure 17
(Color online) Comparison between anisotropic ellipsoidal (red dots) and toroidal (blue dots) eigenvalues corresponding to the first seven WGMs. The inset shows the expression of the relative error used in this work to estimate the validity of our approximation. is the eigenfrequency of the torus, while is the eigenfrequency of the ellipsoidal resonator.
