Abstract
A high finesse optical cavity can be used to search for cosmic axions in the mass range . Either a two-arm or a single-arm cavity is suitable, and in either case the signal appears as resonant sidebands imposed on the carrier. Assuming for the local axion density the usual figure of , the KSVZ axion line , can be reached over the full mass range in a 1 yr search.
