Abstract

It has become a significant challenge to accurately characterise the properties of recently developed very high finesse optical resonators (F > 10(6)). A similar challenge is encountered when trying to measure the properties of cavities in which either the probing laser or the cavity length is intrinsically unstable. We demonstrate in this article the means by which the finesse, mode-matching, free spectral range, mirror transmissions and dispersion may be measured easily and accurately even when the laser or cavity has a relatively poor intrinsic frequency stability.

摘要

准确表征最近开发的超高精细度光学谐振器（F>10⁶）的特性已成为一项重大挑战。在尝试测量探测激光或腔长本质上不稳定的腔的特性时，也会遇到类似的挑战。我们在本文中展示了即使激光或腔的固有频率稳定性相对较差，也可以轻松准确地测量精细度、模式匹配、自由光谱范围、镜面透射率和色散的方法。
