Adjusting optical cavity birefringence with wavelength tunable laser for axion searches

Hinata Takidera, Hiroki Fujimoto, Yuka Oshima +6

Axions have attracted attention as promising candidates for dark matter (DM). Although axions have been intensively searched for, they have not been observed yet. Recently, novel e…
