Abstract

Computational aspects of aperture-integration limits, completeness, normality, biorthogonality, singularities, the Fresnel number, and perturbations are discussed in terms of the non-Hermitian integral operator and its relation to transverse-mode scattering at open (cavity) resonator reflective elements.
