Diffraction losses of a Fabry-Perot cavity with nonidentical non-spherical mirrors
Mikhail V. Poplavskiy, Andrey B. Matsko, Hiroaki Yamamoto +1
Optical cavities with both optimized resonant conditions and high quality factors are important metrological tools. In particular, they are used for laser gravitational wave (GW) d…

On fundamental diffraction limitation of finesse of a Fabry-Perot cavity
Mikhail V. Poplavskiy, Andrey B. Matsko, Hiroaki Yamamoto +1
We perform a theoretical study of finesse limitations of a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity occurring due to finite size, asymmetry, as well as imperfections of the cavity mirrors. A method…

Optical Gravitational Wave Antenna with Increased Power Handling Capability
Andrey B. Matsko, Mikhail V. Poplavskiy, Hiroaki Yamamoto +1
Fundamental sensitivity of an optical interferometric gravitational wave detector increases with increase of the optical power which, in turn, limited because of the opto-mechanica…
