“…Here, any resonant reflection phase shift [26] can be neglected since the light source is a single frequency laser. Though this value is a record for measured resonant reflection, it still does not compete with conventional multilayer mirrors when only regarding optical loss [10].…”

Abstract:Thermal noise in multilayer optical coatings may not only limit the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors in their most sensitive frequency band but is also a major impediment for experiments that aim to reach the standard quantum limit or to cool mechanical systems to their quantum ground state. Here, we present the experimental realization and characterization of a cavity coupler, which is based on a surface relief guided-mode resonant grating. Since the required thickness of the dielectric coating is dramatically decreased compared to conventional mirrors, it is expected to provide low mechanical loss and, thus, low thermal noise. The cavity coupler was incorporated into a Fabry-Perot resonator together with a conventional high quality mirror. The finesse of this cavity was measured to be F = 657, which corresponds to a coupler reflectivity of R = 99.08 %.

“…Recently we proposed and studied in details a narrow-band optical filter based on Fabry-Perot interferometer containing one waveguide grating mirror (WGM) and one ordinary multilayer mirror. It was found that the rapid change of the reflection phase near the resonance in the waveguide grating mirror gives rise to significant narrowing (~100 times) of the transmission spectral width even for a small distance between the Fabry-Perot interferometer mirrors [3,7]. Searching for new applications of this idea we present in this paper the study of Fabry-Perot interferometer with two identical waveguide grating mirrors in the case of normal incidence.…”

Fabry-Perot interferometer with two identical waveguide gratings mirrors is studied. Earlier we studied the case of oblique light incidence and in this paper normal incidence is considered. Normal incidence case is special because two waveguide modes propagating in the opposite directions are excited simultaneously. It is found that for the filter having small distance between the waveguide grating mirrors the reflection spectrum depends on the phase shift between the gratings. One or two additional resonances appear in the case of phase shift not being equal to 0 or π. We attribute the appearance of these resonances to the symmetry breakdown in the waveguide system and coupling between the waveguides.
