We present the realization of millimeter-long fiber coupled open Fabry-Pérot resonators with a finesse of 46.000. Deterioration of the finesse with increasing resonator length observed in previous experiments could be suppressed by advances in the CO2 laser-based fabrication process of the fiber micro mirrors. In this way, resonator lengths up to 1.4 mm could be realized, corresponding to a free spectral range of 107 GHz and linewidths of 2.2 MHz.
Fiber-based micro-cavities are of great use in experimental quantum information science, as they have many application benefits. The reduced apparatus size and direct fiber coupling lead to an increased stability. Beyond concave mirror structures, the novel multi-pulse laser fabrication technique further allows to enlarge the range of accessible structures, including asymmetric mirror profiles, convex shapes on fiber tips and on macroscopic fused silica substrates.
