Mode Conversion Processes in Multilayer Spherical Resonators

In this paper mode conversion processes in dielectric spherical resonators under the influence of conductor losses are discussed. Investigated are cavity modes, open sphere interior and exterior modes and newly detected “lost modes”. Their physical connections and properties are discussed. It is shown that the multilayer spherical resonator is a very complex system with many unknown properties.
