Absolute and relative stability of an optical frequency reference based on spectral hole burning in Eu:YSiO
David R. Leibrandt, Michael J. Thorpe, Chin-Wen Chou +3
We present and analyze four frequency measurements designed to characterize the performance of an optical frequency reference based on spectral hole burning in \EuYSO. The first fr…
Shifts of optical frequency references based on spectral-hole burning in Eu:Y2SiO5
Michael J. Thorpe, David R. Leibrandt, Till Rosenband
Several properties of Eu:Y2SiO5 spectral holes are measured, to assess the suitability of broad-band hole-patterns for use as laser-frequency references. We measure frequency shift…
Trapped-Ion State Detection through Coherent Motion
D. B. Hume, C. W. Chou, D. R. Leibrandt +3
We demonstrate a general method for state detection of trapped ions that can be applied to a large class of atomic and molecular species. We couple a "spectroscopy" ion (Al+) to a…
Frequency-stabilization to 6x10^-16 via spectral-hole burning
Michael J. Thorpe, Lars Rippe, Tara M. Fortier +2
We demonstrate two-stage laser stabilization based on a combination of Fabry- Perot and spectral-hole burning techniques. The laser is first pre-stabilized by the Fabry-Perot cavit…
Ultralow phase noise microwave generation with an Er:fiber-based optical frequency divider
F. Quinlan, T. M. Fortier, M. S. Kirchner +7
We present an optical frequency divider based on a 200 MHz repetition rate Er:fiber mode-locked laser that, when locked to a stable optical frequency reference, generates microwave…
Field-test of a robust, portable, frequency-stable laser
David R. Leibrandt, Michael J. Thorpe, James C. Bergquist +1
We operate a frequency-stable laser in a non-laboratory environment where the test platform is a passenger vehicle. We measure the acceleration experienced by the laser and activel…
