Abstract

The development of frequency stabilized lasers related to the gravitational wave detection is reported. The beat linewidth of laser diode pumped YAG lasers stabilized to the same cavity was measured to be 193 mHz. The source of frequency fluctuation was analyzed carefully. For the higher sensitivity for gravitational wave detection new designs, 100 micrometers thick YVO₄ active mirror and virtual source clad pumping YAG lasers are discussed from the view of scaling physics.
