Misalignment characteristics of resonators formed by 900 cone and mirror
نویسنده
چکیده
The stability condition of a resonator formed by a 900 cone and mirror has been derived using ray tracing techniques. The result showed that this type of resonator is relatively insensitive to mirror misalignment. From this basis, the mirror misalignment tolerance was studied experimentally. Output energy and transverse mode characteristics vs. misalignment were measured, and the results show that this type of resonator does possess certain advantages over the two-mirror resonator.

Crossed ring anchored disk resonator for self-alignment of the anchor
Misalignment is a problematic challenge in RF MEMS resonators. It causes asymmetry in the ultra symmetric radial contour mode disk resonators and degrades their performance by increasing the insertion loss and decreasing their quality factors (Q). Self-alignment method seems to be a good solution for misalignment problem, but it cannot be directly applied on high performance ring shape anchored...
متن کاملPolarization induced instabilities in external four-mirror Fabry-Perot cavities.
Various four-mirror optical resonators are studied from the perspective of realizing passive stacking cavities. A comparative study of the mechanical stability is provided. The polarization properties of the cavity eigenmodes are described, and it is shown that the effect of mirror misalignments (or motions) induces polarization and stacking power instabilities. These instabilities increase wit...
متن کاملSingle actuator alignment control for improved frequency stability of a cavity-based optical frequency reference.
We demonstrate a method of controlling the alignment of a laser beam to a Fabry-Perot resonator through synchronous detection of the misalignment arising from modulating the orientation of a single beam-steering mirror. The horizontal and vertical tilt of the mirror are modulated in quadrature to drive a circular motion of the beam orientation. A corresponding modulation of the intensity of the...
متن کاملExperimental Study of a Flash-lamp Pumped Passively Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Using Cr4+:YAG Saturable Absorber
This paper deals with the experimental results of a xenon flash-lamp pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. The need of a laser cavity to be integrated into a time-of-flight laser range finder is of great interest as an experimental investigation of several laser resonators. Two types of laser resonator, with different lengths, have been studied: the flat-fl...

In this paper, the general case of an anisotropic thermo-electro elastic body subjected to static biasing fields is considered. The biasing fields may be introduced by heat flux, body forces, external surface tractions, and electric fields. By introducing proper thermodynamic functions and employing variational principle for a thermo-electro elastic body, the nonlinear constitutive relations an...
