Direct Selection and Amplification of an Optical Frequency Comb via Injection Locking for Second Cooling Laser of Strontium Optical Clock

摘要

The work presented in this paper is based on an optical frequency comb injection-locking, active filtering and amplification method to build a narrow linewidth laser for second cooling of the strontium atoms in an optical lattice clock. An optical femtosecond laser comb with mode spacing of 250 MHz as master laser is applied to directly inject into an external cavity semiconductor laser at 689 nm called slave laser, a single mode is selected and amplified from the optical femtosecond laser comb.
