Micro-integrated laser distribution modules for low-SWaP optical atomic clocks

Jonas Hamperl, Martin Gärtner, Nora Goossen-Schmidt +10 more

Quantum sensors, such as optical atomic clocks, are increasingly used in out-of-the-lab environments. This development necessitates a high degree of integration and robustness across all components of these systems. In this context, we present the status of our efforts to develop and realize compact laser distribution modules for the implementation of low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) strontium-based optical clocks. These modules are designed to control and manipulate the properties of laser light, such as frequency, phase or intensity, prior to the light’s interaction with the atoms of the clock. By integrating miniaturized free-space acousto- and electro-optic modulators into these modules, they enable applications such as laser power or fiber path length stabilization, as well as frequency-modulation spectroscopy. In this paper, we present a distribution module designed for 461 nm that was assembled using our hybrid micro-integration technology and will be integrated into a compact optical clock demonstrator. Additionally, we provide an outlook on other distribution modules currently under development.

Strontium Optical Lattice Clock at JILA

Michael E. Boyd, Andrew D. Ludlow, Seth M. Foreman +7 more

Results from the JILA optical lattice clock are presented. We report on our development of precision tools for the lattice clock, including a stabilized clock laser with sub-Hz linewidth, fs-comb based technology allowing accurate clock comparison in both the microwave and optical domains, and clock transfer over optical fiber in an urban environment. High resolution spectroscopy (Q > 2 times 1014) of lattice confined strontium atoms is used for both a high-performance optical clock and atomic structure measurements. The current accuracy and stability of the lattice clock are also discussed.

We report on a Er:fiber-based optical frequency comb transferring the stability of ultra-stable lasers from 194THz to 429THz. Sub-mHz level transfer to a fiber-delivered 698.44nm output port for future Strontium QPN-limited lattice clocks is demonstrated.
