Optical characterization of ultra-high diffraction efficiency gratings

A. Bunkowski, O. Burmeister, T. Clausnitzer +4

We report on the optical characterization of an ultra-high diffraction efficiency grating in 1st order Littrow configuration. The apparatus used was an optical cavity built from th…

Demonstration of 3-port grating phase relations

A. Bunkowski, O. Burmeister, K. Danzmann +1

We experimentally demonstrate the phase relations of 3-port gratings by investigating 3-port coupled Fabry-Perot cavities. Two different gratings which have the same 1st order diff…

Input-output relations for a 3-port grating coupled Fabry-Perot cavity

A. Bunkowski, O. Burmeister, K. Danzmann +1

We analyze an optical 3-port reflection grating by means of a scattering matrix formalism. Amplitude and phase relations between the 3 ports, i.e. the 3 orders of diffraction are d…

Diffractive Optics for Gravitational Wave Detectors

A. Bunkowski, O. Burmeister, K. Danzmann +4

All-reflective interferometry based on nano-structured diffraction gratings offers new possibilities for gravitational wave detection. We investigate an all-reflective Fabry-Perot…

Low-loss grating for coupling to a high-finesse cavity

A. Bunkowski, O. Burmeister, P. Beyersdorf +5

A concept for a low loss all-reflective cavity coupler is experimentally demonstrated at a wavelength of 1064 nm. A 1450 nm period dielectric reflection grating with a diffraction…

Analysis of a four-mirror cavity enhanced Michelson interferometer

Andre Thuering, Harald Lueck, Karsten Danzmann

We investigate the shot noise limited sensitivity of a four-mirror cavity enhanced Michelson interferometer. The intention of this interferometer topology is the reduction of therm…
