TITLE: 689 nm Laser System
Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurements Laboratory/Time and Frequency
Division, Atomic Devices and Instrumentation Group
NB688000-26-01607
General Statement of Need
For experiments on chip-scale atomic wavelength references, we require a laser able to be tuned
to a specific atomic transition in strontium at 689.44 nm. The laser will enable us to carry out
precision spectroscopy of the transition and characterize it both as a wavelength references and
as a thermometer. Tunability is required to scan over the atomic transition. Due to the weak
nature of the transition, an optical power level above 50 mW is needed. In order to prevent
problems due to optical feedback, an optical isolator with 60 dB of isolation is required at the
operating wavelength of the laser.
