Sub-kelvin measurement of silicon thermal expansion with a Fabry-Pérot cavity stabilized laser
Pierre Roset, Yara Hariri, Rémi Meyer +5
In this letter, we report the measurement of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of single-crystal silicon from 655 mK to 16 K using an ultra-stable laser based on a single-…
Development of a laser stabilized on an ultra-stable silicon cryogenic Fabry-Perot cavity for dark matter detection
Yara Hariri, Jacques Millo, Clément Lacroûte +3
Astrophysical observations suggest the existence of an unknown kind of matter in the Universe, in the frame of the CDM model. The research field of dark matter covers an energy…
Guidelines for designs for ultrastable laser with fractional frequency instability
Joannès Barbarat, Erik Benkler, Marcin Bober +46
Lasers with long coherence time and narrow linewidth are an essential tool for quantum sensors and clocks. Ultrastable cavities and laser systems are now commercially available wit…
