Reducing the effect of thermal noise in optical cavities
Sana Amairi, Thomas Legero, Thomas Kessler +4
Thermal noise in optical cavities imposes a severe limitation in the stability of the most advanced frequency standards at a level of a few 10^(-16) (s/t)^(1/2) for long averaging…
Providing 1E-16 short-term stability of a 1.5 μm laser to optical clocks
C. Hagemann, C. Grebing, T. Kessler +5
We report on transferring 1E-16-level fractional frequency stability of a "master laser" operated at 1.5 μm to a "slave laser" operated at 698 nm, using a femtosecond fiber comb as…
A sub-40 mHz linewidth laser based on a silicon single-crystal optical cavity
T. Kessler, C. Hagemann, C. Grebing +6
State-of-the-art optical oscillators based on lasers frequency stabilized to high finesse optical cavities are limited by thermal noise that causes fluctuations of the cavity lengt…
Thermal noise in optical cavities revisited
Thomas Kessler, Thomas Legero, Uwe Sterr
Thermal noise of optical reference cavities sets a fundamental limit to the frequency instability of ultra-stable lasers. Using Levin's formulation of the fluctuation-dissipation t…
Tuning the Thermal Expansion Properties of Optical Reference Cavities with Fused Silica Mirrors
Thomas Legero, Thomas Kessler, Uwe Sterr
We investigate the thermal expansion of low thermal noise Fabry-Perot cavities made of Low Thermal Expansion (LTE) glass spacers and Fused Silica (FS) mirrors. The different therma…
