Librational Feedback Cooling

Charles P. Blakemore, Denzal Martin, Alexander Fieguth +4

Librational motion, whereby a rigid body undergoes angular oscillation around a preferred direction, can be observed in optically trapped, silica microspheres. We demonstrate the c…

Global optimization of multilayer dielectric coatings for precision measurements

Gautam Venugopalan, Francisco Salces-Cárcoba, Koji Arai +1

We describe the design of optimized multilayer dielectric coatings for precision laser interferometry. By setting up an appropriate cost function and then using a global optimizer…
