Temperature-independent optical cavities for laser frequency stabilization

Instrumentation and Detectors 2023-01-20 v1 Optics

Abstract

We propose a method for thermal expansion compensation of reference monolithic optical cavities for laser frequency stabilization. Two schemes of optical cavities are considered: a Fabry-Perot interferometer with a crimp ring and a whispering-gallery-mode cavity with a clamp. In each scheme, thermal expansion compensation is achieved due to the strained connection of the cavity with an element made of a material with a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The temperature region of the cavities' optical length stabilization is estimated.
