This book offers a comprehensive and complete description of a new
scheme to stabilize the power of a laser on a level needed for high
precision metrology experiments. The novel aspect of the scheme is
sensing power fluctuations via the radiation pressure driven motion
they induce on a micro-oscillator mirror. It is shown that the
proposed technique can result in higher signals for power
fluctuations than what is achieved by a direct power detection, and
also that it enables the generation of a strong bright squeezed
beam. The book starts with the basics of power stabilization and an
overview on the current state of art. Then, detailed theoretical
calculations are performed, and the advantages of the new scheme
are highlighted. Finally, a proof-of-principle experiment is
described and its results are analyzed in details. The success of
the work presented here paves a way for achieving high power
stability in future experiments and is of interest for high
precision metrology experiments, like gravitational wave detectors,
and optomechanical experiments. Nominated as an outstanding PhD
thesis by the Gravitational Wave International Committee.
