Abstract
Experimental realization of power recycling in an interferometer with 30 m arm-length and suspended optical components has been achieved. Th e power-recycling factor was about 300, corresponding to a light power of more than 100 W impinging on the beam splitter. A new concept was used to acquire simultaneous lock of the power-recycling cavity to res onance and of the Michelson phase difference to a dark fringe.
