Obtaining Frequency Markers of Variable Separation with a Spherical Mirror Fabry-Perot Interferometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compact (L ≈ 5 cm) spherical Fabry-Perot interferometer with adjustable mirror spacing is used to produce interference fringes with frequency separation (c/2L)/N , N 20. These fringes are used as frequency markers in a Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy experiment. The conditions for observation of the fringes are discussed in terms of the eigenmodes of the cavity with high transverse indices. PACS numbers: 42.62.Fi, 07.60.Ly, 01.50.Pa.

متن کاملMirror-orientation noise in a Fabry-Perot interferometer gravitational wave detector.
The influence of angular mirror-orientation errors on the length of a Fabry-Perot resonator is analyzed geometrically. Under conditions in which dominant errors are static or vary slowly over time, the analysis permits a simple prediction of the spectrum of short-term cavity length fluctuations resulting from mirror-orientation noise. The resulting model is applicable to the design of mirror co...

A new design of a plane mirror Fabry-Perot interferometer with the mirror blanks freely supported by horizontal rings is described. Special attention is paid to the surface flatness and dielectric coatings of the mirrors. It is shown that any two piezoelectrically scanned Fabry-Perot interferometers can be synchronized in tandem operation using simple optics and standard electronic driving and ...
متن کاملEstimating the off resonance thermal noise in mirrors, Fabry-Perot interferometers, and delay lines: The half infinite mirror with uniform loss
We present an analysis comparing the thermal noise in Fabry-Perot and delay-line interferometers with half-infinite mirrors. With a center to center spot spacing of at least twice the Gaussian beam spot size a delay line produces significantly less phase noise than a comparable Fabry-Perot interferometer for the case of half infinite mirrors at frequencies where test mass thermal noise usually ...
