Preventing and Reversing Vacuum-Induced Optical Losses in High-Finesse Tantalum (V) Oxide Mirror Coatings

We study the vacuum-induced degradation of high-finesse optical cavities with mirror coatings composed of SiO\(_2\)-Ta\(_{2}\)O\(_{5}\) dielectric stacks, and present methods to protect these coatings and to recover their initial quality factor. For separate coatings with reflectivities centered at...
