Mode Matching - second try

Mirror configuration

Parameter
  • Radius of curvature of mirror R1: R1= 1 m
  • Radius of curvature of mirror R2: R2= 1 m (Incoupling side)
  • Wavelength: λ= 1542.0 nm
  • Length between the resonator mirrors: L= 480 mm
  • Beam radius at cavity-waist: w0
  • Beam radius at mirror: w1, w2
  • Distance between:
    • mirror R1 and mirror R2: L
    • mirror R2/lense 1 and lense 2: X
    • mirror R2/lense 1 and collimatorlense: 600mm - X
      • 600mm (+15mm) = optical way of the incoupling breadboard (450mm) + thickness breadboard (10mm) + distance between breadboard and vacuumchamber (30mm) + distance between vacuumchamber and cavity mirror R2 (130mm)
    • collimatorlense and fiber: 2.75 mm

We used the programm Strahl.exe (@IQ) or STRAHLFP.EXE (@PTB) (same software, but different names).
Step 0: Choose parameter

  • Wellenlänge: 1542 nm
  • Brechungsindex: 1 (Air)
  • Welcher Resonatortyp: linearer Resonator

Step 1: Beam waist calculation from resonator

  • Nr. 1: Spiegel 1 with Brennweite 500 mm; Einfallwinkel: 0
  • Nr. 2: Abstand 480 mm
  • Nr. 3: Spiegel 2 with Brennweite 500 mm; Einfallwinkel: 0

→ Waistradius: 457 µm; Strahlradius on the mirrors: 525.2 µm

Step 2:

  • Change Spiegel 2 to Linse 1
    • Brechungsindex: 1.5
    • Brennweite: -2000 mm
The values of the Waistradius and Strahlradius must not change!!!

Step 3:

  • Nr. 4: Abstand with Variable X
  • Nr. 5: Linse 2 with Variable Y
  • Nr. 6: Abstand 600 - X
  • Nr. 7: Linse 3 with Brennweite 2.75 mm
  • Nr. 8: Abstand 2.75 mm
  • Zielwaist: 5.2 µm

Step 4: Playing with the parameters X and Y for the best Überlapp

Case: Mirror R2/lense 1 and collimatorlense: 600mm - X

Lense focal length Y [mm] 400 300 250 200 175
Distance between mirror R2 and lense 2 Y [mm] 179 208 243 316 357
Überlapp [%] 83.1 97.6 99.5 87.9 77.4

Case: Mirror R2/lense 1 and collimatorlense: 615mm - X

Lense focal length Y [mm] 400 300 250 200 175
Distance between mirror R2 and lense 2 Y [mm] 170 215 265 332 357
Überlapp [%] 83.2 97.9 99.2 87.0 76.3

Step 5: Check what is happend for the wavelength 1560 nm

No effect!
