Q-spoiling

English Noun - en Q-switching. en 1996 Optical Processes In Microcavities Richard K. Chang; A. J. Campillo For our problem the breakin gof the caustics removes the bound on the fluctuations in sin χ and allows the classical escape process and Q-spoiling of the WG modes. en 2000 Progress in Optics 66 Second, as mentioned above, hidden modes with low φ (i.e., low mode order) can become observable with small amounts of Q-spoiling. en 2003 Quantum Coherence Correlation and Decoherence in Semiconductor Nanostructures Toshihide Takagahara 374 The significant Q-spoiling observed is in part due to the refractive loss in the contact area between the QW sample and the sphere since the QW sample has an index of refraction greater than that of the fused silica microsphere and is also in part due to the scattering loss occurring in the contact area.
