摘要:

反射光栅使得光能够耦合到光学腔而不透射穿过衬底。具有三个端口并且以二阶Littrow配置安装的光栅甚至允许使用低衍射效率耦合到高精细度腔。然而,与传统的透射腔耦合器相比,衍射光的相位取决于光栅的横向位置,这引入了额外的噪声耦合。在这里,我们实验证明,这种噪声抵消了一次光栅的两个衍射输出端口相结合。我们实现了与传统耦合器相同的信号散粒噪声比。从这个角度来看,三端口光栅耦合器在二阶Littrow配置仍然是一个有价值的方法,以减少光学吸收的腔耦合器基板在未来的引力波探测器。

英文摘要:

Reflection gratings enable light coupling to optical cavities without transmission through substrates. Gratings that have three ports and are mounted in second-order Littrow configuration even allow the coupling to high-finesse cavities using low diffraction efficiencies. In contrast to conventional transmissive cavity couplers, however, the phase of the diffracted light depends on the lateral position of the grating, which introduces an additional noise coupling. Here we experimentally demonstrate that this kind of noise cancels out once both diffracted output ports of the grating are combined. We achieve the same signal-to-shot-noise ratio as for a conventional coupler. From this perspective, 3-port grating couplers in second-order Littrow configuration remain a valuable approach to reducing optical absorption of cavity coupler substrates in future gravitational wave detectors.
