Abstract

We report on GaN lasers with extremely narrow linewidth (<1MHz) at ‘magic wavelengths’ for cold-atom interferometry quantum sensors, and high frequency (GHz) operation for specialised telecommunication applications.

Narrow Linewidth Semiconductor Laser Systems for Cold Atom-Based Quantum Technology Applications

Andreas Wicht

Cold atom-based quantum technologies leap out of physics labs to find application in the field and in space. Lasers that not only meet specific performance requirements but also cope with realistic operating requirements are key to this development. Requirements, approaches and the current status are reviewed.

Narrow Linewidth Semiconductor Laser for Ba+ Quantum Applications

Kostiantyn Nechay, Soile Talmila, Kalle Palomäki +4 more

Quantum phenomena of superposition paved the way for the quantum computer demonstrations utilizing different approaches of qubit creation and manipulation, such as, based on trapped ions, neutral atoms, nitrogen vacancies, photonic integrated circuits, superconducting loops, etc. The trapped-ion-based platform demonstrated record long coherence times, high-fidelity gates, qubit connectivity and potential for fault-tolerant operation [1]. Number of atomic species have been investigated as basis for qubits and various qubit types along with state-preparation and measurement (SPAM) techniques have been developed. These qubit initialization and readout operations as well as atomic ion preparation stages of photoionization and atom cooling are implemented by single-frequency lasers with narrow emission linewidths at frequencies corresponding to electronic transitions in atomic ion specie. Therefore, several single-frequency lasers with well-defined parameters such as linewidth, output power, polarization, intensity noise are required for trapped-ion-based quantum computer. Considering that currently there are about 11 ion species being employed as qubits, thus more than 100 different laser wavelengths are required across the spectrum. For practical use, scalability of quantum computer is required, i.e., steady increase of qubits number without the loss of quantum system control. Therefore, availability and performance of single-frequency stabilized laser systems with tailorable emission parameters is one of pre-requirements for quantum information processing field development and commercialization success.

Quantum Sensing In The Terahertz Frequency Range

Mirco Kutas, Björn Haase, Jens Klier +2 more

Although terahertz radiation has moved into the focus of technical applications, e.g. layer-thickness measurement, the generation and detection of radiation in this spectral range remains challenging as detectors are either cooled or expensive due to the laser systems they are based on. Thus, the generation and detection of terahertz radiation continues to be of great scientific interest. A novel quantum-optical concept offers the possibility to detect only visible light containing the measurement information gained in a different wavelength range [1]. This represents an extremely attractive alternative for the terahertz frequency range, since generation can be done with visible continuous-wave lasers while detection can be achieved with sophisticated and low-cost silicon-based detectors. We report on first demonstrations of this measurement technique in the terahertz frequency range.

We report the construction and investigation of an ultra-stable laser system with a narrow spectral line of a few kHz. The system is based on frequency doubled 1560 nm fiber lasers, commonly used in telecommunications. We expect to use this system in future experiments for the development of the fountain type quantum frequency standards and quantum sensors based on atom interferometry.

A Simple Pathway to Widely Tunable Single-Frequency Light Using Monolithic Diamond Raman Resonators

Eduardo Granados

Fourier-limited and tunable nanosecond pulses are essential for applications that rely on high-intensity interactions between light and atoms. These applications require precise and wide tunability across a large range of wavelengths (expanding from the UV to the near-IR). The vast interest in producing and integrating pulsed tunable narrow linewidth light is further fuelled by applications in quantum technology. The main challenge here is in the production of many (hundreds to thousands) individually tunable, narrow-band pulses simultaneously. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are expected to provide the scalability and simplicity required for these quantum technology-based sensing systems and applications, but there are still many obstacles to overcome. Among these are improvements in active materials, such as direct gain and laser output in the green-yellow spectral range.
