Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Experimental Physics

Background:

Optical resonators are crucial for high-precision measurements.
Previous resonators had limitations in decay time and coherence length.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a record-breaking decay time for a Fabry Perot cavity.
To enhance the performance of optical resonators for experiments like PVLAS.

Main Methods:

Utilized a Fabry Perot cavity operating at 1064 nm.
Achieved a cavity length of 3.303 m.
Measured a finesse of 770,000.

Main Results:

A record optical resonator decay time of 2.7 ms was achieved.
This is more than double previous records.
Resulting coherence length reached 8.1 x 10^5 m.

Conclusions:

The PVLAS experiment's optical resonator demonstrates unprecedented performance.
The extended decay time and coherence length will advance vacuum polarization research.
