✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the design and performance of a cryogenic system for a sapphire Fabry-Perot optical frequency reference cavity. The cryogenic system utilises a single vacuum system, a liquid helium coupled heat exchanger, low mechanical vibration mounting and an axial, bottom-entering optical path. The cryogenic and thermal performances are also described.
