Realization and application of strong coupling of single cesium atoms with TEM 00 and TEM 10 modes of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity

Junmin Wang, Pengfei Zhang, Gang Li +1 more

Strong coupling of single cesium atoms with a high-finesse optical micro-cavity (the finesse of our Fabry-Perot-type micro-cavity is F = 3.3 x 105 and the cavity length is lc = 86 μm) has been realized for the both cases of TEM00 and TEM10 cavity modes in our experiments. The typical parameters are (g00, κ, Υ) = 2π x (23.9, 2.6, 2.6) MHz and (g10, κ, Υ) = 2π x (20.5, 2.6, 2.6) MHz for these two cases, respectively. Obviously our system reaches the strong coupling regime. The first application is to adopt strong coupling of free-fall individual atoms with the TEM00 cavity mode for determining the effective temperature of laser-cooled atoms prepared in a magneto-optical trap located just above the micro-cavity. The second application is to employ strong coupling of free-fall individual atoms with the tilted TEM10 cavity mode, in stead of TEM00 mode, for more precisely tracking the trajectories of atoms passing through the cavity mode.

High-finesse fiber Fabry–Perot cavities: stabilization and mode matching analysis

J. Gallego, S. Ghosh, Seyed Khalil Alavi +4 more

Fiber Fabry–Perot cavities, formed by micro-machined mirrors on the end-facets of optical fibers, are used in an increasing number of technical and scientific applications, where they typically require precise stabilization of their optical resonances. Here, we study two different approaches to construct fiber Fabry–Perot resonators and stabilize their length for experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics with neutral atoms. A piezo-mechanically actuated cavity with feedback based on the Pound–Drever–Hall locking technique is compared to a novel rigid cavity design that makes use of the high passive stability of a monolithic cavity spacer and employs thermal self-locking and external temperature tuning. Furthermore, we present a general analysis of the mode matching problem in fiber Fabry–Perot cavities, which explains the asymmetry in their reflective line shapes and has important implications for the optimal alignment of the fiber resonators. Finally, we discuss the issue of fiber-generated background photons. We expect that our results contribute toward the integration of high-finesse fiber Fabry–Perot cavities into compact and robust quantum-enabled devices in the future.

High finesse optical fiber cavities: optimal alignment and robust stabilization (Conference Presentation)

Lothar Ratschbacher, Jose Gallego, Sutapa Ghosh +4 more

Fiber Fabry-Perot cavities, formed by micro-machined mirrors on the end-facets of optical fibers, are used in an increasing number of technical and scientific applications. Some of the most promising areas of application of these optical micro-resonators with high finesse and small mode volume are in the field of quantum communication and information. The resonator-enhanced light-matter interaction, for instance, provide basis for the realization of efficient optical interfaces between stationary matter-based quantum nodes and flying single-photon qubits. To date fiber Fabry-Perot cavities have been successfully applied in experiments interfacing single photons with a wide range of quantum systems, including cold atoms, ions and solid state emitters as well as quantum optomechanical experiments. Here we address some important practical questions that arise during the experimental implementation of high finesse fiber Fabry-Perot cavities: How can optimal fiber cavity alignment be achieved and how can the efficiency of coupling light from the optical fibers to the cavity mode and vice versa be characterized? How should optical fiber cavities be constructed and stabilized to fulfill their potential for miniaturization and integration into robust scientific and technological devices that can operate outside of dedicated laboratory environments in the future? The first two questions we answer with an analytic mode matching calculation that relates the alignment dependent fiber-to-cavity mode-matching efficiency to the easily measurable dip in the reflected light power at the cavity resonance. Our general analysis provides a simple recipe for the optimal alignment of fiber Fabry-Perot cavities and moreover for the first time explains the asymmetry in their reflective line shapes. The latter question we explore by investigating a novel, intrinsically rigid fiber cavity design that makes use of the high passive stability of a monolithic cavity spacer and employs thermal self-locking and external temperature tuning. The performance of this novel approach is compared to a more traditional, piezomechanically-actuated resonator that is feedback stabilized to a reference laser based on the Pound-Drever-Hall locking technique. Finally, with the application of single photon interfacing in mind we discuss the issue of fiber-generated background photons in Fiber Fabry-Perot cavities. We believe that, due to their simplicity, compactness and robustness, rigid fiber cavities could be a promising solution for miniaturized, integratable and scalable cavity quantum electrodynamic devices and further applications of FFPC with similar requirements.
