Cavity enhanced DUV laser for two-photon cooling of atomic hydrogen

Instrumentation and Detectors 2018-04-04 v1 Atomic Physics Optics

Abstract

We demonstrate a \SI{650}{\mW} \SI{243}{\nm} continuous-wave laser coupled to a linear optical enhancement cavity. The enhancement cavity can maintain >>\SI{30}{\W} of intracavity power for \SI{1}{\hour} of continuous operation without degradation. This system has sufficient power for a demonstration of two-photon laser cooling of hydrogen and may be useful for experiments on other simple two-body atomic systems.
