Dynamical behaviour of birefringent Fabry-Perot cavities
In this paper we present a theoretical and experimental study of the dynamical behaviour of birefringent cavities. Our experimental data show that usual hypothesis which provides that a Fabry-Perot cavity is a first-order low pass filter cannot explain the behaviour of a birefringent cavity. We explain this phenomenon, and give the theoretical expression of the equivalent cavity filter which co...
متن کاملDynamic resonance of light in Fabry–Perot cavities
The dynamics of light in Fabry–Perot cavities with varying length and input laser frequency are analyzed. At high frequencies, the response to length variations is very different from the response to laser frequency variations. Implications for kilometerscale Fabry–Perot cavities such as those utilized in gravitational-wave detectors are discussed. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv...
متن کاملPolarization induced instabilities in external four-mirror Fabry-Perot cavities.
Various four-mirror optical resonators are studied from the perspective of realizing passive stacking cavities. A comparative study of the mechanical stability is provided. The polarization properties of the cavity eigenmodes are described, and it is shown that the effect of mirror misalignments (or motions) induces polarization and stacking power instabilities. These instabilities increase wit...
متن کاملSwitching through symmetry breaking in coupled nonlinear micro-cavities.
We describe stable symmetry-breaking states in systems with two coupled nonlinear cavities, using coupled-mode theory and rigorous simulations. Above a threshold input level the symmetric state of the passive Kerr system becomes unstable, and we show how this phenomenon can be employed for switching and flip-flop purposes, using positive pulses only. A device with compact photonic crystal micro...
متن کاملTemperature analysis of low-expansion Fabry-Perot cavities.
Temperature dependent structural distortion at the contacted mirrors of low-expansion glass cavities can introduce changes to the cavity length independent of the length of the spacer. There are resulting temperature sensitivities of the path (m/K) at each end of a cavity that are proportional to the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion (alpha) at the contact. The temperature sens...
