posted on 2023-11-30, 05:08 authored by Samuel F. Cooper, Zakary Burkley, Adam D. Brandt, Cory Rasor, Dylan C. YostWe demonstrate a \SI{650}{\mW} \SI{243}{
m} continuous-wave laser coupled to a linear optical enhancement cavity. The enhancement cavity can maintain $>$\SI{30}{\W} of intracavity power for \SI{1}{\hour} of continuous operation without degradation. This system has sufficient power for a demonstration of two-photon laser cooling of hydrogen and may be useful for experiments on other simple two-body atomic systems.
