The thickness of the spacer layer determines the so-called "cavity-mode", which is the one wavelength that can be transmitted and will be formed as standing wave inside the resonator. Depending on the type and quality of the mirrors, a so-called stop-band will form in the transmission spectrum of the microcavity, a long range of wavelengths, that is reflected and a single one being transmitted. (usually in the centre)
The term "so called" used twice in this paragraph, is not necessary and sounds ignorant. It is a device used by Evangelical preachers to denigrate things they do not like such as science, medical research, technology and people that disagree with them. I suspect that the author of this article is a bit arrogant.72.215.180.205 (talk) 11:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

A section on traveling wave microcavities could be helpful, like toroids or ring resonators. I will add it hopefully soonish :) --Quantumavik (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
