Horikawa S, Yang S, Tanaka T, Aoki T, Kato S. High-finesse nanofiber Fabry-Pérot resonator in a portable storage container. THE REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS 2024; 95:073103. [PMID: 39007679 DOI: 10.1063/5.0208963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
We present characterization and storage methods for a high-finesse nanofiber Fabry-Pérot resonator. Reflection spectroscopy from both ends of the resonator allows for the evaluation of the mirror transmittances and optical loss inside the resonator. To maintain the quality of the nanofiber resonator after the fabrication, we have developed a portable storage container. By filling the container with dry, clean nitrogen gas, we can prevent contamination of the nanofiber during storage. This approach allows us to minimize the additional optical loss to less than 0.08% over a week. The portable container facilitates both the fabrication and subsequent experimentation with the resonator in different locations. This flexibility expands the range of applications, including quantum optics, communication, and sensing.
