Devised at the beginning of the 20th century by french physicists
Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, the Fabry-Perot optical cavity is
perhaps the most deceptively simple setup in optics, and today a
key resource in many areas of science and technology. This thesis
delves deeply into the applications of optical cavities in a
variety of contexts: from LIGO's 4-km-long interferometer arms that
are allowing us to observe the universe in a new way by measuring
gravitational waves, to the atomic clocks used to realise time with
unprecedented accuracy which will soon lead to a redefinition of
the second, and the matterwave interferometers that are enabling us
to test and measure gravity in a new scale. The work presented
accounts for the elegance and versatility of this setup, which
today underpins much of the progress in the frontier of atomic and
gravitational experimental physics.
