Multi-Material Coatings with Reduced Thermal Noise
William Yam, Slawek Gras, Matthew Evans
The most sensitive measurements of time and space are made with resonant optical cavities, and these measurements are limited by coating thermal noise. The mechanical and optical p…

Length control of an optical resonator using second-order transverse modes
John Miller, Matthew Evans
We present the analysis of an unorthodox technique for locking a laser to a resonant optical cavity. Error signals are derived from the interference between the fundamental cavity…

Simple method for locking birefringent resonators
Adam Libson, Nicolas Brown, Aaron Buikema +4
We report on a simple method of locking a laser to a birefringent cavity using polarization spectroscopy. The birefringence of the resonator permits the simple extraction of an err…
