A Versatile Production Facility for Fiber-Based Mirrors — •Michael Kubista, Deepak Pandey, Wolfgang Alt, and Dieter Meschede — Institut für Angewandte Physik der Universität Bonn, Wegelerstr. 8, 53115 Bonn

We report on a production facility for creating miniaturized fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavities, which have numerous applications in quantum information technology. A CO2 laser at 9.3 µm is used to produce mirror surfaces on fiber end facets using laser ablation [1], taking advantage of the higher absorption of silica glass at this wavelength [2]. Beam shaping and polarization control are employed to reduce mirror ellipticity. To reconstruct the profile of the mirror surfaces, a high-resolution in-line Mirau interferometer has been built. Further steps will include the implementation of a multi-shot technique to create larger mirrors [3], and the use of GRIN-lenses to improve mode matching efficiency [4]. These versatile techniques will enable us to produce cavities for a wide range of applications such as quantum communication, surface analysis, and opto-mechanical devices.
