Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists due to atomic recoil ...

In this optical cavity, light resonates between two mirrors, one of which is a vibrating mirror that allows for optomechanical coupling. The cavity contains a nonlinear optical crystal, which can be ...

The light power inside the optical cavity affects how rigid optical springs, such as those in GWDs, are. Therefore, raising ...

NPL's optical stabilising reference cavity was developed for the European Space Agency (ESA) and is designed to lock laser ...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has announced that it is working in collaboration with the European Space Agency's ...

is determined by the light power within the optical cavity. Thus, enhancing the resonant frequency of optical springs requires increasing the intracavity light power which, however, can result in ...

Lasers are pretty much magic — it’s all done with mirrors. Not every laser, of course, but in the 1980s, the most common ...

The Teddington based National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working in collaboration with the European Space Agency's (ESA) ...

More sophisticated optical structure, such as micro-cavity or plasmonic structure, may bring additional room for optimizing ...

This innovative design uses optical non-linear effects from the Kerr effect in the Fabry-Perot cavity to achieve high signal amplification ratios and optical spring constant, with potential ...
