Multifunctional Cavity Mirrors for Next-Generation Ultra-Stable Lasers
Ultra-stable laser cavities (USLCs) lie at the heart of humankind’s most precise measurement instruments. Developing compact, multi-wavelength, USLCs will greatly benefit applications such as quantum sensing, spectroscopy, metrology, and quantum computing. In this research program, I propose to explore novel versatile cavity mirrors by integrating low-noise meta-devices with multi-layer photonic integrated circuits into complex laser resonator geometries. I envisage a fully integrated USLC by incorporating all necessary sensors, modulators, and input-output optics within the mirror substrate. Innovative laser resonator topologies will allow for pushing the stability limits into new regimes…
