Abstract :
The exact closed-form expression of the eigenmodes of a closed waveguide resonator terminated with small-curvature cylindrical mirrors is presented. The results obtained are compared with those recently obtained through the use of the WKB approximation. Plots of the spatial structure of the transverse modes inside the resonator are also shown.
