Some of the laser sources need to operate at laser wavelengths between 1.5 µm and 2.2 µm to support future detectors based on cooled silicon test masses for thermal noise reduction. We present detailed characterizations of different commercial low power seed laser sources and power amplifiers at the wavelength of 1550 nm with respect to performance parameters needed in GWDs. A combination with the most complete set of actuators was arranged as a master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA), integrated into a stabilization environment and characterized. We present the results of this characterization that make this stabilized MOPA a highly relevant prototype for future GWDs as well as a low noise light source for other experiments in high precision metrology. dc:creator: Fabian Meylahn and Benno Willke dcterms:created: 2022-03-07T04:57:57Z Last-Modified: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z dcterms:modified: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z dc:format: application/pdf; version=1.7 title: Characterization of Laser Systems at 1550 nm Wavelength for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors Last-Save-Date: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z pdf:docinfo:creator_tool: LaTeX with hyperref access_permission:fill_in_form: true pdf:docinfo:keywords: 1550 nm; laser system; gravitational wave detector pdf:docinfo:modified: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z meta:save-date: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z pdf:encrypted: false dc:title: Characterization of Laser Systems at 1550 nm Wavelength for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors modified: 2022-03-07T05:41:15Z cp:subject: The continuous improvement of current gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) and the preparations for next generation GWDs place high demands on their stabilized laser sources.
