Solid-state laser intensity stabilization at the 10(-8) level.
A high-power, low-noise photodetector, in conjunction with a current shunt actuator, is used in an ac-coupled servo to stabilize the intensity of a 10-W cw Nd:YAG laser. A relative intensity noise of 1 x 10(-8) Hz(-1/2) at 10 Hz is achieved.
متن کاملTelecommunication-wavelength solid-state memory at the single photon level.
We demonstrate experimentally the storage and retrieval of weak coherent light fields at telecommunication wavelengths in a solid. Light pulses at the single photon level are stored for a time up to 600 ns in an erbium-doped Y2SiO5 crystal at 2.6 K and retrieved on demand. The memory is based on photon echoes with controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening, which is realized here for the fi...
متن کاملSolid-state XeF(D ? X) laser at 286 nm.
XeF-doped Ar crystals pumped at 248 nm undergo stimulated emission over the D-X band at 286 nm. Spectral narrowing measurements indicate a net gain in excess of 6 cm(-1).
متن کاملLaser Frequency and Intensity Stabilization for Advanced LIGO
Advanced LIGO searches for gravitational wave events using two 4-km Fabry–Pérot Michelson interferometers separated by a 3000 km baseline. Each interferometer is illuminated with up to 125 W of 1064 nm light from a frequencyand intensity-stabilized Nd:YAG laser. This laser is frequency-locked to the interferometer’s commonmode arm length, which acts as a 4-km-long reference cavity with a 1 Hz l...
متن کاملAdvanced 2-micron Solid State Laser Developments
The development of a space-qualifiable 2-micron laser is beneficial to both the Exploration and Earth science technology goals. Recently, significant advancements in the laser development have been made under the Laser Risk Reduction Program. One Joule per pulse energy was achieved by a Master-Oscillator-Power-Amplifier (MOPA) system. To our knowledge, it is the highest recorded energy at this ...
