Integrated cavity output spectroscopy(ICOS) is a simple, non-intrusive absorption measurement technique that can detect and quantify trace-level gas species. The spectral absorbance of a gas is quantified from the integrated optical output of the modulated high-finesse cavity containing the sample which is irradiated by a wavelength-swept laser source. We constructed an experimental setup by using a tunable single mode external cavity diode laser operating at the wavelength near 765 nm and a Fabry-Perot cavity with length modulation achieved by a piezoelectric transducer where one of the cavity mirrors sat on. In the experiment performed on minute oxygen gas at the wave-length near 764.5nm, we demonstrated the minimum detectable absorption of $8.45\times10^{-8}cm^{-1}$.

The new enhanced method of temperature control need not any reference temperature, the system itself can find the melting temperature of gallium as a reference point by dithering input heat flux. If gallium is in melting state, the latent heat of fusion works, so gallium temperature does not change on dithering input heat flux. Also, the control method can determine the state of gallium; solid, liquid, or melting state by investigating the temperature in gallium. We apply this new temperature stabilization method to stabilize a Fabry-Perot cavity, which serves as a ultimate length measurement technique. We achieved 1 mK-temperature stability and 1.5426 nm/ 95 mm-length stability over 10 hours.

We have fabricated a Fabry-Perot etalon around $1.3\;{\mu}m$ wavelength utilizing $Al_{2}O_3$ and a-Si thin films. A full width at half maximum of ${\sim}12.1nm$ and a finesse value of 53 were found from the measured resonant transmission spectra. Single thin film of $Al_{2}O_3$ was analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry. A refractive index of a-Si thin film was measured as 3.120 in the real part and 0.002 in the imaginary part, respectively. The thin-film pairs of $Al_{2}O_3$ and a-Si are applicable to output mirrors of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers at $1.3{\mu}m$ waveband.
