Abstract

We present the experimental realization of simultaneous bi-directional superluminal lasing in a triangular ring cavity. The sensitivity enhancements of the superluminal ring lasers, inferred from simulation, are 505 and 362 at the two-photon resonance frequency.

enhancement of such lasers at the center of the dip shown in Fig. 2(a). As can be seen, the sensitivity enhancement of the CW direction laser reaches ~505 in the center and that of the CCW laser is as high as ~362. To determine experimentally the rotation sensitivity requires strong suppression of sources of excess noise in the experiment. Such improvement to the experiment is challenging and currently under development. This work has been supported by AFOSR Grant #FA9550-18-1-0401.
