摘要： Optical enhancement cavity (OEC) is a powerful tool for fundamental research and diagnostics. In this paper, the progress of a continuous-wave OEC to realize of megawatt cavity for a novel light source based on a steady-state microbunching (SSMB) mechanism, is reported. After efficiently suppressing all external noise and optimizing the alignment, mode-matching, and polarization matching, stable and long-term locking is achieved with the help of two feedback loops. The modal instability phenomenon caused by the surface thermoelastic deformation is observed. A pair of D-shape mirrors are utilized to remove the high-order modes. Finally, an intra-cavity average power of 30 kW is reached.
