چکیده
All-reflective optical systems are under consideration for future gravitational wave detector topologies. One approach in proposed designs is to use diffraction gratings as input couplers for Fabry-Perot cavities. We present an experimental demonstration of a fully suspended diffractively coupled cavity and investigate the use of conventional Pound-Drever-Hall length sensing and control techniques to maintain the required operating condition.

Experimental demonstration of a suspended, diffractively coupled Fabry–Perot cavity
Diffraction gratings have been considered as input couplers for Fabry–Perot cavities in future gravitational wave detectors. We experimentally demonstrate the use of a triple-suspended, diffractively coupled cavity and examine conventional Pound–Drever–Hall length sensing and control techniques to maintain the required operating condition. Utilizing the diffractively coupled Fabry–Perot cavity,...
متن کاملTranslational, rotational, and vibrational coupling into phase in diffractively coupled optical cavities.
All-reflective optical systems are under consideration for future gravitational wave detector topologies. A key feature of these all-reflective systems is the use of Fabry-Perot cavities with diffraction gratings as input couplers; however, theory predicts and experiment has shown that translation of the grating surface across the incident laser light will introduce additional phase into the sy...
متن کاملLithographic wavelength control of an external cavity laser with a silicon photonic crystal cavity-based resonant reflector.
We report the experimental demonstration of a new design for external cavity hybrid lasers consisting of a III-V semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with fiber reflector and a photonic crystal (PhC)-based resonant reflector on SOI. The silicon reflector is composed of an SU8 polymer bus waveguide vertically coupled to a PhC cavity and provides a wavelength-selective optical feedback to the la...
متن کاملDiffractively coupled Fabry-Perot resonator with power-recycling.
We demonstrate the optical coupling of two cavities without light transmission through a substrate. As the all-reflective coupling component, we use a dielectric low-efficiency 3-port diffraction grating. In contrast to a conventional transmissive coupling component, such an all-reflective coupler avoids all thermal effects that are associated with light absorption in the substrate. An all-refl...
متن کاملMeasurement of radiation-pressure-induced optomechanical dynamics in a suspended Fabry-Perot cavity
We report on experimental observation of radiation-pressure induced effects in a high-power optical cavity. These effects play an important role in next generation gravitational wave (GW) detectors, as well as in quantum non-demolition (QND) interferometers. We measure the properties of an optical spring, created by coupling of an intense laser field to the pendulum mode of a suspended mirror; ...
