Research abstract
ABSTRACT:The reliability of optical atomic clocks is very dependent lasers which have long lock times to the line-narrowing reference (Fabry-Perot cavity) and atomic reference. This work builds a laser at 657 nm and a polarization maintaining frequency comb for this purpose.BENEFIT:Optical atomic clocks will lead to improved timing stability, enabling reduced range error in navigation systems.
