We present a numerical investigation of the ray dynamics in a paraxial optical cavity when a ray-splitting mechanism is present. The cavity is a conventional two-mirror stable resonator and the ray splitting is achieved by inserting an optical beam splitter perpendicular to the cavity axis. We show that depending on the position of the beam splitter the optical resonator can become unstable and the ray dynamics displays a positive Lyapunov exponent.
我们对存在光线分裂机制时傍轴光学腔中的光线动力学进行了数值研究。该腔是一个传统的双镜稳定谐振器，通过插入一个垂直于腔轴的光束分离器来实现光线分裂。我们表明，根据光束分离器的位置，光学谐振器可能会变得不稳定，并且光线动力学显示出正的李雅普诺夫指数。
