Fundamental Thermal Noise Limits for Optical Microcavities

We present a joint theoretical and experimental analysis of thermorefractive noise in high-quality-factor (Q), small-mode-volume (V) optical microcavities. Analogous to well-studied stability limits imposed by Brownian motion in macroscopic Fabry-Perot resonators, we show that microcavity thermorefr...
