Description
Laser cavities and interferometers are approaching MW beam power, enabling probes of new microphysics and of space-time itself at mass scales well beyond the TeV scale. I will discuss several applications currently being developed, including 1) a next-generation photon-axion oscillation experiment; 2) the Holometer--an experiment to detect Planck-suppressed space-time uncertainty; and 3) possible probes of zero-point contributions to the vacuum energy.
