15. The field intensity or the electric field per photon in the cavity, described by the Q factor, increases with the index contrast in two ways. First, the mirror reflection coefficient increases. Second, the photon penetration length in the mirrors decreases. As the finesse is defined by the local free spectral range, it increases due to the first factor only, so that we can keep using the Zhu criterion.
