Experimental realization of power recycling in an interferometer with 30 m arm-length and suspended optical components has been achieved. The power-recycling factor was about 300, corresponding to a light power of more than 100 W impinging on the beam splitter. A new concept was used to acquire simultaneous lock of the power-recycling cavity to resonance and of the Michelson phase difference to a dark fringe
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
