 AURIGA: the optical readout project The optical resonance of the reference cavity needs also to be guaranteed; it is now not possible to follow the cavity with the laser frequency, as this is already locked to the transducer cavity. The difference lies in the way the mechanical signal of the bar vibration is converted into an electromagnetic one: here a resonant optical cavity (a Fabry-Perot cavity) is housed between the bar and the transducer. Delivery of the laser beam to the transducer cavity is accomplished by a single-mode polarization maintaining optical fiber. www.auriga.lnl.infn.it /auriga/RandD/optical.html

 Cavity QED Research With recent developments in optical cavity QED pioneered in the Quantum Optics Group at Caltech, optical physics has progressed to a domain wherein processes are driven by single atoms interacting with optical fields with average energy corresponding to much less than one photon. Driven by the quest for yet higher cavity finesse in combination with small mode volume, we have also investigated microsphere cavities as a possible setting for extending our work with cold atoms. One exciting prospect is that by observing atoms passing through the standing wave structure of the cavity mode, it should be possible to approach the standard quantum limit for measurement of the atomic position. www.cco.caltech.edu /~qoptics/cqed.html

 Patent 4953176: Angular optical cavity alignment adjustment utilizing variable distribution cooling The present invention relates to alignment of a laser optical cavity when mirrors, or other beam guiding elements, are attached to a structural member, such as a plasma tube, and thermal gradients in the structural member cause bending of the structural member, and resulting misalignment of the cavity. Bending of the plasma tube can be decoupled from alignment of the optical cavity by using an external resonator, that is, a resonator where the mirrors are not connected to the plasma tube. At least one optical element is mounted on the structural member for guiding the laser beam along the optical path. www.freepatentsonline.com /4953176.html

 Optical Cavity-Ring-Down Measurement of Soot Concentration In this case, the ring-down cavity is an optical one, the absorption and scattering of light by soot contributes to the decay of an optical signal, and the concentration of soot is the quantity to be determined from the measured rate of decay. An optical technique for measuring the concentration of soot in air is based on the cavity-ring-down (CRD) principle, which is so named because it involves observation of the decay ("ring-down") of a signal echoing in a cavity. The ring-down cavity is bounded by two confocal mirrors with a radius of curvature equal to or greater than the distance between them. www.nasatech.com /Briefs/Jan99/LEW16541.html

 Lasers (Science Tracer Bullet - Science Reference Services, Libraryof Congress) In the process, the optical cavity or resonator forces the excited atoms to radiate in phase, and concentrates the light to stimulate the emission of laser radiation. Optical feedback elements allow a beam of radiation to either pass once through the laser medium (i.e., as in a laser amplifier) or bounce back and forth repeatedly through the laser medium, amplifying the light (i.e., as in a laser oscillator). A carefully aligned laser mirror is added at each end of the collection of atoms to form an optical resonator, in which the lightwave can bounce back and forth many times. lcweb.loc.gov /rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/laserstb.html

 Patent 4793709: Method and apparatus for measuring the losses of an optical cavity The apparatus is arranged for measuring the intensity decay time.tau..sub.c of an optical cavity 10 which includes a plurality of mirrors 10, 12, 14 and 16 for directing an input beam of light about the cavity 10. A method and associated apparatus for measuring the intensity decay time of an optical cavity is particularly useful for accurate measurement of cavities of the type that include highly reflective mirrors. The foregoing and additional shortcomings of the prior art are addressed and overcome by the present invention that provides, in a first aspect, apparatus for measuring the intensity decay time of an optical cavity. www.freepatentsonline.com /4793709.html

 MLF Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy Light from a narrow band cw laser is coupled into a high-finesse stable optical cavity when accidentally coincident with one of the multitude of modes of this cavity. Under the conditions that the scanning laser is sufficiently long in resonance with one of the cavity modes that the light intensity inside the cavity approaches its limiting value, the time-integrated light intensity exiting the cavity is in a good approximation proportional to the ring down time $\tau$.

 Cascaded second-order nonlinearity in an optical cavity Phase-mismatched optical second-harmonic generation in a low-loss external enhancement cavity is used to generate an effective third-order nonlinearity for continuous-wave laser radiation. The cascading effect is demonstrated by detecting bistability of the line shape of a low-loss monolithic MgO:LiNbO www.exphy.uni-duesseldorf.de /Publikationen/pub96_4.htm

 Laser resonators From quantum mechanics we know that the photon is both a particle and a wave, the geometrical optic description of the Fabry-Perot cavity is related to the particle viewpoint, while the description of the cavity in terms of diffraction is based on the wave nature of light. If the ions are placed within a cavity, the gain can be significantly improved to the point where the output beam becomes coherent, extremely narrow and of significantly reduced spectral width, essentially producing a single resonant mode of electromagnetic radiation. The cavity is used not only to maintain a large enough electromagnetic field strength to stimulate emission from excited ions but also to maintain feedback and thus coherence of the output beam. home.achilles.net /~ypvsj/glossary/fp.html

 Laser Focus World - ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY: Optical cavity opens door to better detectors Using a pair of concave, highly reflective mirrors, researchers form an optical cavity that contains a gas sample. When gas in the cavity absorbs the light, the decay rate speeds up, so a measurement of the rate of ring-down shows how much of a given molecule is present. He uses a small ring cavity made of fused silica in the shape of a regular polygon with a convex facet, which provides for total internal reflection of laser pulses injected with photon tunneling through a pair of coupling prisms (see figure). cgw.pennnet.com /Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=Archives&Subsection=Display&ARTICLE_ID=54413&KEYWORD=Savage

 AG Rempe: Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics We work on such an experiment combining a small, ultra-high finesse optical cavity with an atomic fountain as a source of ultracold atoms. Although our cavity contains on average less then a single photon, the mechanical effects on the ultracold atoms can be substantial. We have studied the motion of atoms in a cavity containing only one photon at most, and found that the atom moves under the influence of a modified dipole force, a novel velocity-dependent force and a momentum diffusion force. www.mpq.mpg.de /qdynamics/projects/cqed/cqed.html

 IR OPTICAL CAVITY It is desirable to have an optical cavity that exhibits good mode control in order to maximize FEL efficiency, stability and the beam quality of the out-coupled signal. Initial operation of the optical cavity will be without active stabilization but the capability to add it later will be designed in. The cavity round trip must be chosen as an integral multiple of the pulse repetition rate and the cavity must be long enough to keep the heat fluence on the mirrors within tolerable bounds. www.cebaf.gov /accel/fel/documentation/feldoc9-5-1-3.html

 Patent 4250538: Full frame flash illumination system utilizing a diffuse integrating optical cavity An illumination system for a document copying machine including an optical cavity having interior walls coated with a white, diffusely reflecting material. Applying this theoretical analysis to cavity 10, it will become apparent that when source 42 is pulsed and caused to flash, light is directed against the cavity walls, and after undergoing multiple reflections from all interior surfaces, produces a near-uniform diffuse illumination at the platen. One end of the cavity contains a platen for positioning document to be copied while the opposing end contains a lens for forming an image of the document on a light sensitive image plane. freepatentsonline.com /4250538.html

 Correlation functions in an optical Cavity QED system Our experimental realization consists of a high finesse optical cavity traversed by a beam of optically prepumped ^85Rb atoms. We investigate changes in g^(2) for different driving intensities while keeping the system on resonance and in the lower branch of optical bistability. It is characterized by a single atom coupling rate g three times larger than either the cavity or the atomic decay rates and by n_0 = 0.08. flux.aps.org /meetings/YR97/BAPSAPR97/abs/S260005.html

 IRC#physics-maze#optical-cavity An optical-cavity is made by getting two mirrors and facing them towards each other. With the mirrors perfectly parallel to each other, the light will bounce back and forth between the two -- so this is often called a cavity because it is like a box ("cavity") where you can trap light. By using curved mirrors, the light can be stopped from travelling sideways and escaping. www.moo.uklinux.net /kinsler/ircph/maze/optical-cavity.html

 Cavity Ring-down Spectroscopy In recent years, cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) has been employed to measure the optical absorption of gases with extremely high sensitivity by utilizing the photon decay time in a high-finesse optical cavity as the absorption sensitive observable. EW-CRDS utilizes novel optical cavity designs that employ total internal reflection (TIR) at ultra-smooth surfaces which have a root-mean square surface roughness of typically less than an atomic diameter. The miniature, monolithic TIR-ring cavity, which employs photon tunneling for excitation and detection of cavity modes, provides broad spectral bandwidth thereby allowing multiple surface species to be probed with a single device. www.cstl.nist.gov /div836/836.05/thermometry/humidity/crds.htm
