Optical feedback cavity ring-down technique for accurate measurement of ultra-high reflectivity

A novel cavity ring-down (CRD) technique, based on the optical feedback effect of Fabry–Perot diode lasers, is developed for accurate reflectivity measurement of highly reflective cavity mirrors. The strong optical feedback, including the direct reflection from the front cavity mirror of a linear ring-down cavity, is re-injected into the oscillator cavity of the diode laser, and large resonant peaks are observed in the ring-down cavity output signals. The diode laser is switched off by a threshold circuit when the amplitude of a resonant peak exceeds a pre-defined threshold. Exponentially decayed signals recorded immediately after switching off the laser are used to determine the cavity decay time. The ultra-high reflectivity of cavity mirrors is measured to be 99.99606% with a reproducibility of 0.00003%. Compared with the previous phase-shift CRD technique, the signal-to-noise ratio of the cavity output signals is improved with an enhancement factor of over 100.     

Determination of wavefront aberrations using a Fabry-Perot cavity

A new method for detecting wavefront aberrations using a Fabry-Perot cavity is described. A Fabry-Perot cavity transmits the cavity eigenmode which satisfies a resonance condition, while the other modes are reflected from the cavity. Utilizing this mode discrimination property, we can extract aberration components from incident aberrated light as reflected light from the cavity. Under the condition of a weak aberration, the amplitude profile of the reflected light can be approximated to the wavefront aberration. We can therefore determine the wavefront aberrations in a visualized form with the technique. We present the detection scheme and the first experimental verification of the technique. The detected aberration using this technique was in good agreement with the result on the basis of a conventional wavefront sensor.

Three-level depletion by cavity ringdown absorption spectroscopy: proof of concept

Theoretical quantitative considerations as well as experimental data are presented based on absorption population depletion coupled with cavity ringdown spectroscopy. The absorbing number densities inside the cavity are determined by numerical integration of the coupled rate equations. The number of photons involved in absorption, cavity losses due to mirror reflectivity and stimulated emission are taken into account. The principle is to monitor a first transition by cavity ringdown spectroscopy while a second transition, with a state in common, is resonantly excited by the decaying radiation of different frequency also trapped inside the optical cavity. A numerical example is given for atomic lines of neon and the measurements carried out in a supersonic slit-jet expansion discharge demonstrate the feasibility of the technique. The technique is also proven to work with two resonant transitions of C₂. Translational velocity of the jet modifying the rate equations is included in the model.     

Numerical investigation of the passive control of cavity flow oscillations by a dimpled non-smooth surface

Computational investigations are conducted to determine the effectiveness of a passive control technique, which was employed to decay the pressure oscillations induced by a subsonic flow over a cavity. This work focuses on a cavity with a small opening but a large volume. The passive control technique is employed by introducing a dimpled non-smooth surface, which is installed at the upstream of the cavity. Large eddy simulation is used to investigate the flow field and flow instability around the cavity for the smooth and non-smooth cases. Experiments are conducted in an acoustic wind tunnel for the smooth case to validate the computational scheme. Flow visualizations revealed that the dimpled surface located upstream effectively suppresses cavity flow oscillations. Finally, the control mechanism of cavity oscillation with the dimpled non-smooth surface is also determined based on the comparison of the flow field structure between the smooth and non-smooth cases.

Scheme to Implement Optimal Asymmetric Economical Phase-Covariant Quantum Cloning in Cavity QED

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to implement the optimal asymmetric economical 1→2 phase-covariant quantum cloning in two dimensions based on the cavity QED technique. The protocol is very simple and only two atoms are required. Our scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. During the processes, the cavity is only virtually excited and it thus greatly prolongs the efficient decoherent time. Therefore, it may be realized in experiment.     

Coupled-cavity QED using planar photonic crystals

We introduce a technique for controlling cavity QED by indirectly coupling two planar-photonic-crystal nanocavities through an integrated waveguide. Guided by an explicit analytical expression for the photon Green function, the resulting optical response of a single quantum dot, embedded in one of the cavities, is shown to be profoundly influenced by the distant cavity. The regimes of cavity QED, e.g., vacuum Rabi splitting, are made significantly easier and richer than with one cavity alone.

Diffusion coupling between a barrel-shaped resonant cavity and a coaxial waveguide

We consider a resonant cavity in the form of a section of a weakly irregular metal tube coupled with a waveguide of larger cross section. Eigenmodes of such a cavity with frequencies close to the cutoff frequency are described by the inhomogeneous-string equation. The solution of this equation obtained by the variational technique leads to standard formulas for interaction between the cavity and an incident wave.     

Vacuum-stimulated raman scattering based on adiabatic passage in a high-finesse optical cavity

We report on the first observation of stimulated Raman scattering from a Lambda-type three-level atom, where the stimulation is realized by the vacuum field of a high-finesse optical cavity. The scheme produces one intracavity photon by means of an adiabatic passage technique based on a counterintuitive interaction sequence between pump laser and cavity field. This photon leaves the cavity through the less-reflecting mirror. The emission rate shows a characteristic dependence on the cavity and pump detuning, and the observed spectra have a subnatural linewidth. The results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.
