Thermal noise and mechanical loss of SiO/TaO optical coatings at cryogenic temperatures
John M Robinson, Eric Oelker, William R Milner +8
Mechanical loss of dielectric mirror coatings sets fundamental limits for both gravitational wave detectors and cavity-stabilized optical local oscillators for atomic clocks. Two a…
Demonstration of a time scale based on a stable optical carrier
William R. Milner, John M. Robinson, Colin J. Kennedy +13
We demonstrate a time scale based on a phase stable optical carrier that accumulates an estimated time error of ps over 34 days of operation. This all-optical time scale…
Optical clock intercomparison with precision in one hour
E. Oelker, R. B. Hutson, C. J. Kennedy +14
Improvements in atom-light coherence are foundational to progress in quantum information science, quantum optics, and precision metrology. Optical atomic clocks require local oscil…
Crystalline optical cavity at 4 K with thermal noise limited instability and ultralow drift
John M. Robinson, Eric Oelker, William R. Milner +6
Crystalline optical cavities are the foundation of today's state-of-the-art ultrastable lasers. Building on our previous silicon cavity effort, we now achieve the fundamental therm…
An ultrastable silicon cavity in a continuously operating closed-cycle cryostat at 4 K
W. Zhang, J. M. Robinson, L. Sonderhouse +8
We report on a laser locked to a silicon cavity operating continuously at 4 K with instability and a median linewidth of 17 mHz at 1542 nm. This is a ten-fold i…
1.5 m lasers with sub 10 mHz linewidth
D. G. Matei, T. Legero, S. Häfner +8
We report on two ultrastable lasers each stabilized to independent silicon Fabry-Pérot cavities operated at 124 K. The fractional frequency instability of each laser is completely…
