Frequency locking a laser to an optical cavity using spatial mode interference
We present a novel technique to frequency lock a laser to an optical cavity. This technique, tilt locking, utilizes a misalignment of the laser with respect to the cavity to produce a non-resonant spatial mode. By observing the interference between the carrier and the spatial mode, a quantum noise limited frequency discriminator can be obtained. Tilt locking offers a number of potential benefit...
متن کاملOptical Nonlinear Dynamics with cold atoms in a cavity
This paper presents the nonlinear dynamics of laser cooled and trapped cesium atoms placed inside an optical cavity and interacting with a probe light beam slightly detuned from the 6S1/2F = 4 to 6P3/2F = 5 transition. The system exhibits very strong bistability and instabilities. The origin of the latter is found to be a competition between optical pumping and non-linearities due to saturation...
متن کاملCharacterization of an ultra-stable optical cavity
We report the main characteristics and performances of the first – to our knowledge – prototype of an ultra-stable cavity designed and produced by industry with the aim of space missions. The cavity is a 100 mm long cylinder rigidly held at its midplane by an engineered mechanical interface providing an efficient decoupling from thermal and vibration perturbations. The spacer is made from Ultra...
متن کاملFrequency Locking of an Optical Cavity using LQG Integral Control
This paper considers the application of LQG integral control theory to a problem of cavity locking in quantum optics. The cavity locking problem involves controlling the error between the laser frequency and the cavity frequency. A model for the cavity system, which comprises of a piezo-electric actuator and an optical cavity is determined in the frequency domain using a subspace identification...
متن کاملStability Analysis of the Mode-Locking Dynamics in a Laser Cavity with a Passive Polarizer
A low-dimensional model is constructed via a variational formulation which characterizes the mode-locking dynamics in a laser cavity with a passive polarizer. The theoretical model accounts explicitly for the effects of the passive polarizer with a Jones matrix. In combination with the nonlinear interaction of the orthogonally polarized electromagnetic fields, the evolution of the mode-locked s...
