Title:
A Laser Power-Build-Up System for H Atom Ionization
Summary:
This project will build a prototype cavity, and lock a high-power pulsed laser to the cavity to attain MW peak pulse powers. This will quantify the mode distortion from absorbed power, and examine the performance of different mirror coatings. Attention to the materials used and the design will allow ultra-high vacuum cleaning techniques to be used to avoid mirror contamination issues.
