Optical Cavities for Optical Atomic Clocks, Atom Interferometry and Gravitational-Wave Detection

Optical Cavities for Optical Atomic Clocks, Atom Interferometry and Gravitational-Wave Detection by Miguel Dovale Álvarez.

Devised at the beginning of the 20th century by french physicists Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, the Fabry-Perot optical cavity is perhaps the most deceptively simple setup in optics, and today a key resource in many areas of science and technology. This thesis delves deeply into the applications o...
