Cavity-enhanced techniques take several different forms, but all have in common the use of an
optical resonator within which a sample of light is added.
"Our approach is to trap the probe light used for imaging inside of an
optical resonator, where it circulates tens of thousands of times.
Chavez-Cerda, "Bessel-Gauss beam
optical resonator," Opt.
The design is slightly different with the
optical resonator that has been mentioned in (Tadashi Miyashita, 1990) and (Kirankumar R.
Polarized absolute adsorbate spectra were obtained by EW-CRDS using a high-finesse fused-silica monolithic
optical resonator, while absolute absorption cross sections for the gasphase species were determined by conventional CRDS.
It will explore a new avenue towards this goal, combining cutting-edge advances of atomic physics with ideas inspired by nanophotonics: a cold micro-structured gas of interacting atoms will act as a Bragg mirror saturable by a single photon, strongly coupling a controlled number of spatial modes in an
optical resonator. This flexible, efficient, dynamically-controlled system will be used to test the limits of fundamental no-go theorems in quantum logic, measure physical quantities inaccessible to standard detectors, and deterministically engineer massively entangled light beams for Heisenberg-limited sensing.
Optical resonators are essential for the generation of laser light.
"For example, today there is no commercial optical transceiver that uses
optical resonators, because you need considerable electronics capability to control and stabilize that resonator."
Lan Yang and his research team has created an optical diode by coupling tiny doughnut shaped
optical resonators on a silicon chip, which is capable of completely eliminating light transmission in one direction and greatly enhancing light transmission in the other nonreciprocal light transmission.
The team of researchers have created an optical diode by coupling tiny doughnut-shaped
optical resonators - one with gain and the other with loss - on a silicon chip.
Among the contributed papers are discussions of automated polarization-discrimination techniques for minimizing lidar-detected skylight background noise, simulating
optical resonators for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, and laser and non-coherent light effects on peripheral blood normal and acute lymphoblastic leukemic cells by using different types of photosensitizers.
Intended for practicing engineers and scientists, this desktop reference reviews the construction, operation, and physics of laser beams,
optical resonators, waveguides, and semiconductor, solid-state bulk, fiber, and gas lasers.
