These days, Ronic, Aurélien and I use OEwaves CW laser to measure the finesse of SBOX. We made 5 measurements at 100kHz / 4s sweeps.

The finesse is around 35k (see Figure 1), corresponding to an enhancement factor of 14k.

In our experiments, we only saw up to 9k gain with 70% coupling, corresponding to an enhancement factor of 12.8k.

It could be because of the additional losses introduced by the high power, or the mirror became cleaner after the experiment......

Additionally, we found that the output of the OEwaves CW laser was not a perfect circle, with a depression at the edge of the circle.
