Coherence transfer from 1064 nm to 578 nm using an optically referenced frequency comb

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/7/074202

Abstract

A laser at 578 nm is phase-locked to an optical frequency comb (OFC) which is optically referenced to a subhertz-linewidth laser at 1064 nm. Coherence is transferred from 1064 nm to 578 nm via the OFC. By comparing with a cavity-stabilized laser at 578 nm, the absolute linewidth of 1.1 Hz and the fractional frequency instability of 1.3× 10^-15 at an averaging time of 1 s for each laser at 578 nm have been determined, which is limited by the performance of the reference laser for the OFC.

Keywords: coherence transfer optical frequency comb narrow linewidth laser
