Optical Spring Stabilization
… pressure of light inside a cavity as a stable optical spring, fundamentally the same as technique developed by Corbitt, et al. [1] with an additional degree of freedom.</p> <p>I will review the theory of the one dimensional technique and discuss the multidimensional control theory and angular …

Radiation pressure effects in a suspended Fabry-Perot cavity
… induced effects in a high-power optical cavity. These effects play an important role in next generation gravitational wave detectors, as well as quantum non-demolition devices. We describe two experiments in which a low-transmission input mirror and near-perfectly-reflective end …

Quantum noise and radiation pressure effects in high power optical interferometers
… most notably ponderomotive squeezing and the optical spring effect. A series of experiments were performed, designed to approach measurement of these effects. The experiments use a 1 gram mirror to show progressively stronger radiation pressure effects, but only in the classical regime. The …
