Multiwavelength interferometry system for the Orion laser facility

The Orion Facility*

ORION will be a user-oriented research facility for understanding the physics and developing the technology for future high-energy particle accelerators, as well as for research in related fields. The facility has as its centerpiece the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The NLCTA will be modified with the addition of a new, high-brig...

Overview of laser systems for the Orion facility at the AWE.

The commissioning of the Orion laser facility at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in the UK has recently been completed. The facility is a twelve beam Nd:glass-based system for studying high energy density physics. It consists of ten frequency-tripled beam-lines operating with nanosecond pulses, synchronized with two beam-lines with subpicosecond pulses, each capable of delivering 500 J t...

Diode Laser Frequency Standard for Laser Interferometry

Diode lasers are becoming increasingly important in length metrology. We demonstrate construction of a simple single-frequency diode laser 632,8 nm, used as a frequency standard in the laser interferometers. We present two different systems applied for frequency stabilization of diode laser . For diode laser used as the secondary standard, the system stabilizes diode temperature, the frequency ...
