“…The main idea behind many of these techniques is to generate a dispersive line shape that will produce an error signal. In particular, for the dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) [4] and its variants [5,10], the stabilization frequency may easily be chosen around the center of the Doppler-broadened line. However, a relatively uniform external magnetic field is needed to generate the Zeeman split of the probed hyperfine transition and a double detection with well-balanced photodetectors is also necessary.…”

Laser stabilization to an atomic transition using an optically generated dispersive line shape

We report a simple and robust technique to generate a dispersive signal which serves as an error signal to electronically stabilize a monomode continuous-wave laser emitting around an atomic resonance. We explore nonlinear effects in the laser beam propagation through a resonant vapor by way of spatial filtering. The performance of this technique is validated by locking semiconductor lasers to the cesium and rubidium D 2 lines and observing long-term reduction of the emission frequency drifts, making the lasers well adapted for many atomic physics applications.

“…For example, long-term stability of light frequency is needed in experiments with optical cooling and trapping, investigation of nonlinear (coherent) optical effects, optical metrology (e.g., atomic magnetometry), or searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. A popular technique of laser-frequency stabilization exploits magnetically induced circular anisotropy of a medium [1]. In this technique, a longitudinal magnetic field, i.e., field along the quantization axis, shifts energies of Zeeman sublevels lifting their degeneracy.…”

“…In this technique, a longitudinal magnetic field, i.e., field along the quantization axis, shifts energies of Zeeman sublevels lifting their degeneracy. This results in a frequency-dependent difference in absorption and dispersion of the two orthogonal circular polarization (σ ± ) components of light 1 . Thus, detection of light ellipticity or polarization rotation provides an error signal, which enables light-frequency stabilization.…”

A dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) system exploiting buffer-gas-filled millimeter-scale vapor cells is presented. This system offers similar stability as achievable with conventional DAVLL system using bulk vapor cells, but has several important advantages. In addition to its compactness, it may provide continuous stabilization in a multi-gigahertz range around the optical transition. This range may be controlled either by changing the temperature of the vapor or by application of a buffer gas under an appropriate pressure. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate the ability of the system to lock the laser frequency between two hyperfine components of the 85 Rb ground state or as far as 16 GHz away from the closest optical transition.

Controllable Delay and Polarization Routing of Single Photons

et al. 2019

Full control of single photons is important in quantum information and quantum networking. In particular, controlling the photon–atom interaction can be an appealing means to realize more complex quantum experiments. As a matter of example, the storage of photons into atomic media represents one key approach to memory‐assisted quantum communication and computing. Here it is shown that the propagation of single photons from a semiconductor quantum dot can be deliberately controlled by an atomic vapor under the application of an external magnetic field. The present results enable the use of an atomic vapor as a precise and reliable wavelength selective delay and allows for routing the single photons according to their polarization and the external magnetic field. With an overall delay of 25 ns, it is possible to fine‐tune the arrival time of the photons by more than 600 ps which matches the scale of the quantum dot's lifetime. The experimental data are fully reproduced by a theoretical model.
