Preventing and reversing vacuum-induced optical losses in high-finesse tantalum (V) oxide mirror coatings

High-finesse optical cavities placed under vacuum are foundational platforms in quantum information science with photons and atoms. We study the vacuum-induced degradation of high-finesse optical cavities with mirror coatings composed of SiO[subscript 2]-Ta[subscript 2]O[subscript 5] dielectric stac...
