• Abstract: Near-concentric cavities are excellent tools for enhancing atom--light interaction as they combine a small mode volume with a large optical access for atom manipulation. However, they are sensitive to longitudinal and transverse misalignment. To address this sensitivity, we present a compact near-concentric optical cavity system with a residual cavity length variation $\delta L_{C, rms}$=36(9) pm. A key part of this system is a cage-like tensegrity mirror support structure that allows to correct for longitudinal and transverse misalignment. The system is stable enough to allow the use of mirrors with higher cavity finesse to enhance the atom--light coupling strength in cavity-QED applications.

• Dissipative and dispersive cavity optomechanics with a frequency-dependent mirror [0.0]
  microcavity-based optomechanical systems are placed in the unresolved-sideband regime, preventing sideband-based ground-state cooling. We analyze such an optomechanical system, whereby one of the mirrors is strongly frequency-dependent, i.e., a suspended Fano mirror. We formulate a quantum-coupled-mode description that includes both the standard dispersive optomechanical coupling as well as dissipative coupling.

• Cavity Sub- and Superradiance Enhanced Ramsey Spectroscopy [0.0]
  Ramsey spectroscopy in large, dense ensembles of ultra-cold atoms trapped in optical lattices suffers from dipole-dipole interaction induced shifts and collective superradiance limiting its precision and accuracy. We propose a novel geometry implementing fast signal readout with minimal heating for large atom numbers at lower densities via an optical cavity operated in the weak single atom but strong collective coupling regime.
