We are currently setting up a quantum hybrid experiment, which aims at coupling a Bose-Einstein condensate to a cryogenically pre-cooled SiN membrane via long-range light interaction. A fiber cavity is used to enhance the coupling between light and membrane by a factor of the finesse. Asymmetric coating of the cavity mirrors enables finite on-resonance reflectivity required to establish a mutual resonant coupling between the atomic sample and the membrane motion. Our results reveal that the on-resonance reflectivity is extremely sensitive to the mode match between fiber- and cavity mode. Best mode match is achieved for plano-concave cavities. Using standard single mode fibers with mode a field diameter of 5.2 µ m, we derive an optimal mode match for a radius of curvature close to 50 µ m and a cavity length of L ≈ 25 µ m. We optimize depth and width of our laser machined gaussian mirror profiles by numerical simulations and achieve values for the on-resonance power reflectivity ideally suited for our envisaged quantum hybrid system.
