We demonstrated a miniaturized 871 nm semiconductor laser optically injection locked to a whisper-gallery-mode resonator demonstrating Hertz-level instanta-neous linewidth for Yb+ clock applications. The laser linewidth and short term drift are suppressed by over 104.
We present an ultra-narrow-linewidth laser designed based on optical self-injection locking to a miniaturized whispering gallery mode resonator. The measured instantaneous linewidth of the laser is at sub-Hertz-level, making it suitable for precise energy-level excitation in quantum technology applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
