  • Abstract
    We have developed the light source for the space gravitational wave detector, DECIGO, and its pathfinder, DPF. The frequency stability of the 1 Hz/Hz1/2 at Fourier frequency around 1Hz, and output power of 10W are required as the light source for DECIGO. We will report the breadboard model of the frequency-stabilized Yb:YAG laser for DPF whose frequency is stabilized in reference to the saturated absorption of iodine molecules around 515nm, and the fiberMOPA system for DECIGO.
