A thermoelastic limit on the focal intensity in Fabry-Pérot cavities
Jeremy J. Axelrod, Lothar Maisenbacher, Ashwin Singh +4
Light in the mode of a Fabry-Pérot cavity heats the mirror surfaces via optical absorption, causing thermoelastic deformation of the mirror substrates, which in turn dictates the…

Ultrahigh continuous-wave intensities in high-NA optical cavities through suppression of the parametric oscillatory instability
L. Maisenbacher, A. Singh, I. M. Pope +1
Ultrahigh continuous-wave intensities (>300 GW/cm) in high-NA optical cavities enable applications from phase-contrast electron microscopy to ultradeep dipole traps for molecul…

Space magnetometry with a differential atom interferometer
Matthias Meister, Gabriel Müller, Patrick Boegel +16
Atom interferometers deployed in space are excellent tools for high precision measurements, navigation, or Earth observation. In particular, differential interferometric setups fea…
