Abstract

We apply spatially and spectrally resolved interferometry to measure the complex ratio between the field circulating inside a high-finesse femtosecond enhancement cavity and the seeding field. Our simple and highly sensitive method enables the measurement of single-round-trip group delay dispersion of a fully loaded cavity at resonance for the first time. Group delay dispersion can be determined with a reproducibility better than 1 fs2 allowing the investigation of nonlinear processes triggered by the high intracavity power. The required data acquisition time is less than 1 s.

Dispersion measurement of the air-filled cavity for different air pressure values. a), b) and c) interferograms for 200 mbar, 500 mbar and 950 mbar, respectively. The white lines indicate the fit range for the second-order polynomial. d) retrieved round-trip phases. e) retrieved air GDD in fs2/m after subtracting the empty cavity round trip GDD and comparison with the Sellmeier models [26, 35]. The error bars show the uncertainty of the quadratic fit, see text for details.

Peak-power-dependent round trip GDD measurement of the cavity in vacuum. a) and b) interferograms for peak powers Ppeak = 8 kW, and Ppeak = 918 MW, respectively. c) Retrieved GDD values at 1042 nm vs. peak power. The three circled measurements are taken at Pcirc = 24 kW and different pulse durations. The two coinciding double-circled measurements are taken at Pcirc = 24 kW, τcirc = 650 fs and Pcirc = 7 kW, τcirc = 200 fs. The error bars (standard deviation of several measurements) are on the order of 0.2 fs2.
