Round 10: Tossup 11

The setup for CRDS consists of an analyte in one of these systems where intensity exponentially decays over the ringdown time. 2012 (-5[1])Nobel Prize in Physics winner Serge Haroche recreated Schrödinger’s cat by firing Rydberg atoms into one of these systems. (-5[1])RF signals are input and output into a pair of these systems called the catcher and buncher of a klystron tube. A high-finesse one of these systems that selectively transmits light composes a Fabry–Pérot interferometer. A prototypical model of a blackbody is as one of these systems with a small hole cut into it. (-5[2])A laser contains a resonant one of these systems (-5[1])formed out of two mirrors that surrounds its gain medium. (10[1])For 10 points, name these physical systems consisting of a hollow space in which confined photons can bounce back and forth. ■END■ (10[1]0[10])
