Chip-scale sub-Doppler atomic spectroscopy enabled by a metasurface integrated photonic emitter

Alexander Yulaev, Chad Ropp, John Kitching +2

We demonstrate chip-scale sub-Doppler spectroscopy in an integrated and fiber-coupled photonic-metasurface device. The device is a stack of three planar components: a photonic mode…
