We present a method of broadening the dynamic range of optical interferometric detection of cantilever displacement. The key idea of this system is to use a wavelength-tunable laser source. The wavelength is subject to proportional-integral control, which is used to keep the cavity detuning constant during a measurement. Under this control, the change in wavelength is proportional to the cantilever displacement. Using this technique, we can measure large displacements ($>1 mathrm{mu m}$) without degradation of sensitivity. We apply this technique to high-frequency electron spin resonance spectroscopy and succeed in removing an irregular background signal that arises from the constantly varying sensitivity of the interferometer.

Ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic sensing has been demonstrated with a meter-long, high-finesse fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI). The main technical challenge of large, environment-induced resonance frequency drift is addressed by locking the interrogation laser to a similar meter-long FFPI, which, along with the FFPI sensor, is thermally and mechanically isolated from the ambient. A nominal, noise-limited strain resolution of 800 f{epsilon} /sqrt(Hz) has been achieved within 1 to 100 Hz. Strain resolution further improves to 75 f{epsilon} /sqrt(Hz) at 1 kHz, 60 f{epsilon} /sqrt(Hz) at 2 kHz and 40 f{epsilon} /sqrt(Hz) at 23 kHz, demonstrating comparable or even better resolutions than proven techniques such as {pi}-phase-shifted and slow-light fiber Bragg gratings. Limitations of the current system are analyzed and improvement strategies are presented. The work lays out a feasible path toward ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic sensing based on long FFPIs.
This note presents a method to tune the resonant frequency $f_{0}$ of a rectangular microwave cavity. This is achieved using a liquid metal, GaInSn, to decrease the volume of the cavity. It is possible to shift $f_{0}$ by filling the cavity with this alloy, in order to reduce the relative distance between the internal walls. The resulting modes have resonant frequencies in the range $7div8,$GHz. The capability of the system of producing an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurement has been tested by placing a 1 mm diameter Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) sphere inside the cavity, and producing a strong coupling between the cavity resonance and Kittel mode. This work shows the possibility to tune a resonant system in the GHz range, which can be useful for several applications.
We build a resonant fiber optic gyro based on Kagome hollow-core fiber. A semi-bulk cavity architecture based on a 18-m-long Kagome fiber permits to achieve a cavity finesse of 23 with a resonance linewidth of 700 kHz. An optimized Pound-Drever-Hall servo-locking scheme is used to probe the cavity in reflection. Closed-loop operation of the gyroscope permits to reach an angular random walk as small as 0.004$^circ/sqrt{mathrm{h}}$ and a bias stability of 0.45$^circ$/h over 0.5 s of integration time.

We experimentally demonstrate a simple and robust protocol for the detection of weak radio-frequency magnetic fields using a single electron spin in diamond. Our method relies on spin locking, where the Rabi frequency of the spin is adjusted to match the MHz signal frequency. In a proof-of-principle experiment we detect a 7.5 MHz magnetic probe field of 40 nT amplitude with <10 kHz spectral resolution over a T_1-limited noise floor of 0.3 nT/rtHz. Rotating-frame magnetometry may provide a direct and sensitive route to high-resolution spectroscopy of nanoscale nuclear spin signals.
A sensor that integrates high sensitivity micro-Hall effect magnetometry and high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy capabilities on a single semiconductor chip is presented. The Hall-effect magnetometer was fabricated from a two dimensional electron gas GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure in the form of a cross, with a 50x50 um2 sensing area. A high-frequency microstrip resonator is coupled with two small gaps to a transmission line with a 50 Ohms impedance. Different resonator lengths are used to obtain quasi-TEM fundamental resonant modes in the frequency range 10-30 GHz. The resonator is positioned on top of the active area of the Hall-effect magnetometer, where the magnetic field of the fundamental mode is largest, thus optimizing the conversion of microwave power into magnetic field at the sample position. The two gaps coupling the resonator and transmission lines are engineered differently. The gap to the microwave source is designed to optimize the loaded quality factor of the resonator (Q = 150) while the gap for the transmitted signal is larger. This latter gap minimizes losses and prevents distortion of the resonance while enabling measurement of the transmitted signal. The large filling factor of the resonator permits sensitivities comparable to that of high-quality factor resonant cavities. The integrated sensor enables measurement of the magnetization response of micron scale samples upon application of microwave fields. In particular, the combined measurement of the magnetization change and the microwave power under cw microwave irradiation of single crystal of molecular magnets is used to determine of the energy relaxation time of the molecular spin states. In addition, real time measurements of the magnetization dynamics upon application of fast microwave pulses are demonstrated
