Cavity-Ringdown (CRD) Loss Meter and Reflectometer Our reflectometer GLACIER uses the extreme sensitivity of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to
quantify the losses of advanced optical coatings down to 5 ppm. As a typical application the device can characterize supra-mirrors with up to 99.9995 % reflectivity. Conventional absorption and reflection measurements are not sufficiently sensitive to quantify today´s super-reflective mirror coatings and are typically limited to the > 1000 ppm range (corresponding to < 99.9 % reflectivity). Cavity ring-down spectroscopy measures optical losses by the decay of the energy stored inside a cavity. The technique reaches unrivalled sensitivity, because losses are experienced with each round trip inside the cavity over and over again. Smaller losses lead to longer intra-cavity dwell time thereby automatically increasing measurement precision. The device features high-speed data acquisition and allows to record measurements within seconds. It is delivered complete with a computer and a user-friendly software interface for acquisition and real-time analysis. |
