Measuring stability of optical reference cavities by analyzing polarization spectrum
Abstract
A polarization method for measuring the stability of optical reference cavities is reported. Measurement with an I sub 2 stabilized He-Ne laser (stability is less than 2 x 10 to the -10th power) and sampling time of 0.01 second confirmed that the stability of a test cavity was about 1.3 x 10 to the -9th power. Some figures show the function and calculation curves, experimental curves, pulse curve, stability test result, and signal amplitude of the measured cavity mode.
