High-power, low-phase-noise, frequency-agile laser system for delivering fiber-noise-cancelled pulses for Strontium clock atom interferometry
K. DeRose, T. Deshpande, Y. Wang, & T. Kovachy
We present the development of a laser system for performing single-photon atom interferometry on the 698 nm clock transition in ultracold Strontium. We coherently combine the power of two Titanium:Sapphire lasers and demonstrate chirps of 200 MHz in 2.5 ms while phase-locked to an optical reference. Moreover, we demonstrate a novel scheme to deliver 4 W pulsed beams to the atoms via a mode-cleaning optical fiber using active noise cancellation.
