Ultraviolet Fabry-Perot cavity with stable finesse under ultrahigh vacuum conditions

Abstract: We have constructed an apparatus containing a linear ion trap and a high-finesse optical cavity in the ultraviolet spectral range. In our construction, we have avoided all organic materials inside the ultrahigh vacuum chamber. We show that, unlike previously reported, the optical cavity does not degrade in performance over a time scale of 9 months.

“…In spite of this larger increase in the loss than in Ref. [70], the rate of the loss increase is still low enough to maintain the high finesse over the time scale of many years. This atomic ensemble near a mirror surface without excessive contamination is suitable for performing a wide variety of cQED experiments in the strong-coupling regime, where η > 1.…”

“…From the measured finesse of F = 4700 ± 700 we estimate the losses of the mirrors to be L = (350 ± 100) ppm, in agreement with the manufacturer's expectation. Similar to our previous work on ultraviolet cavities 40 , the losses have remained constant over time even under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. With a cavity length of (261 ± 1) μm we calculate a mode waist (1/e 2 intensity radius) of ω cavity = 4.1(2) μm.…”
