Power-recycled Michelson interferometer with a 50/50 grating beam splitter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We designed and fabricated an all-reflective 50/50 beam splitter based on a dielectric grating. This beam splitter was used to set up a power-recycled Michelson interferometer with a finesse of about FPR ≈ 880. Aspects of the diffractive beam splitter as well as of the interferometer design are discussed.

Diffractive beam splitter characterization via a power-recycled interferometer.
We used the high-precision laser interferometer technique of power recycling to characterize the optical loss of an all-reflective grating beam splitter. This beam splitter was used to set up a Michelson interferometer with a power-recycling resonator with a finesse of 883. Analyzing the results obtained, we determined the beam splitter's total optical loss to be (0.193+/-0.019)%. Low loss all-...
متن کاملAll-reflective Michelson, Sagnac, and Fabry-Perot interferometers based on grating beam splitters.
All-reflective Michelson, Sagnac, and Fabry-Perot interferometers based on grating beam splitters are experimentally demonstrated at a wavelength of 1064 nm. A 1200-groove/mm grating diffracting 0 and -1 orders with an efficiency of 48.2% for each order was used as a near-50/50 beam splitter. The all-reflective Sagnac and Michelson interferometers were formed by reintroducing both of the diffra...
متن کاملPolarization Sagnac interferometer with a reflective grating beam splitter.
All-reflective interferometric gravitational-wave detector configurations with a diffraction grating as a power beam splitter have been proposed to reduce thermal lensing. We demonstrate the use of a diffraction grating as a polarization beam splitter in a zero-area polarization Sagnac interferometer.

Atom-surface interactions can significantly modify the intensity and phase of atom de Broglie waves diffracted by a silicon nitride grating. This affects the operation of a material grating as a coherent beam splitter. The phase shift induced by diffraction is measured by comparing the relative phases of serveral interfering paths in a Mach-Zehnder Na atom interferometer formed by three materia...
متن کاملAutomatic Absolute Distance Measurement with One Micrometer Uncertainty Using a Michelson Interferometer
In this paper, we suggest a novel system that is capable of measuring absolute distances with an uncertainty of one micrometer, or better, over a distance of up to 20 meters. This system consists of a Michelson interferometer, a tunable external cavity diode laser, a wavelength meter, a digital camera and a computer. The Michelson interferometer contains a reference arm mirror, a target arm mir...
