Laser cooling has given a boost to atomic physics throughout the last 30 years, as it allows
one to prepare atoms in motional states, which can only be described by quantum …

Quantum vacuum fluctuations impose strict limits on precision displacement measurements,
those of interferometric gravitational-wave detectors among them. Introducing squeezed …

Frequency-stable lasers form the back bone of precision measurements in science and
technology. Such lasers typically attain their stability through frequency locking to reference …

We report on the highest precision yet achieved in the measurement of the polarization of a
low-energy, O (1 GeV), continuous-wave (CW) electron beam, accomplished using a new …

High-finesse optical resonators found in ultrasensitive laser spectrometers utilize
supermirrors ideally consisting of isotropic high-reflectivity coatings. Strictly speaking …

We report a high precision measurement of electron beam polarization using Compton
polarimetry. The measurement was made in experimental Hall A at Jefferson Lab during the …

We report a novel cavity feedback mechanism for stabilizing single-longitudinal-mode (SLM)
operation of diamond Raman lasers. Polarization-dependent Raman gain and in-grown …

We present the effects of resonator birefringence on the cavity-enhanced interfacing of
quantum states of light and matter, including the first observation of single photons with a …

We present the analysis of an unorthodox technique for locking a laser to a resonant optical
cavity. Error signals are derived from the interference between the fundamental cavity mode …

A new method of laser frequency stabilization using polarization property of an optical cavity
is proposed. In a standard Fabry–Perot cavity, the coating layers thickness of cavity mirrors …
