Abstract

Three different laser power stabilization schemes are compared: a traditional power stabilization, a traditional one with subsequent optical resonator, and a power stabilization with the novel optical ac coupling technique. The performance of the schemes is evaluated using the theoretical quantum limit and the power stability achieved considering technical limitations. The scheme with optical ac coupling is superior to the other ones especially at high laser power levels that will be used in future interferometric gravitational wave detectors.
