Excited-Band Coherent Delocalization for Improved Optical Lattice Clock Performance

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Siegel, Andrew Ludlow, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Tanner Grogan, Chun-Chia Chen
We implement coherent delocalization as a tool for improving the two primary metrics of atomic clock performance: systematic uncertainty and instability. By decreasing atomic density with co- herent delocalization, we suppress cold-collision shifts and two

Legacy of Charlotte Moore Sitterly in the Internet Age

March 19, 2024
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida
Most (yet not all) results of atomic physics research of Charlotte Moore Sitterly (CMS), which was closely connected to astrophysics, are now incorporated in online databases, one of which is the Atomic Spectra Database of the National Institute of

Multi-harmonic near-infrared-ultraviolet dual-comb spectrometer

March 19, 2024
Author(s)
Kristina Chang, Daniel Lesko, Carter Mashburn, Peter Chang, Eugene Tsao, Alexander Lind, Scott Diddams
Dual-comb spectroscopy in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible would enable broad bandwidth electronic spectroscopy with unprecedented frequency resolution. However, there are significant challenges in generation, detection, and processing of dual-comb data

Photonic chip-based low noise microwave oscillator

March 6, 2024

Igor Kudelin, William Groman, Scott Diddams, Dahyeon Lee, Megan Kelleher, Takuma Nakamura, Charles McLemore, Franklyn Quinlan, Qing-Xin Ji, Joel Guo, Andrey Matsko, John Bowers, Kerry Vahala, Warren Jin, Lue Wu, Yifan Liu, Wei Zhang, Steven Bowers, Joe Campbell, Pedram Shirmohammadi, Samin Hanifi, Haotian Cheng, Naijun Jin, Sam Halliday, Zhaowei Dai, Chao Xiang, Vladimir Iltchenko, Owen Miller, Peter Rakich
Numerous modern technologies are reliant on the low-phase noise and timing stability performance of microwave signals. Substantial progress has been made in the field of microwave photonics, whereby low noise microwave signals are generated by the down

Laser-power consumption of soliton formation in a bidirectional Kerr resonator

March 5, 2024
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Su-Peng Yu, Haixin Liu, Yan Jin, Travis Briles, David Carlson, Scott Papp
Laser sources power extreme data transmission as well as computing acceleration, access to ultrahigh-speed signaling, and sensing for chemicals, distance, and pattern recognition. The ever-growing scale of these applications drives innovation in multi

Debye-Waller Effects in Bethe-Salpeter Calculations

March 3, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Shirley, Joseph Woicik
We present a method to incorporate Debye-Waller effects on core-excitation spectra in methods other than real-space multiple scattering formulations. The method draws ideas from multiple-scattering theory to realize effects of variations in interatomic

Photonic bandgap microcombs at 1064 nm

February 27, 2024
Author(s)
Gregory Spektor, Jizhao Zang, Atasi Dan, Travis Briles, Grant Brodnik, Haixin Liu, Jennifer Black, David Carlson, Scott Papp
Microresonator frequency combs and their design versatility have revolutionized research areas from data communication to exoplanet searches. While microcombs in the 1550 nm band are well documented, there is interest in using microcombs in other bands

Zeeman-resolved Autler-Townes splitting in Rydberg atoms with a tunable RF resonance and a single transition dipole moment

February 21, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Drew Rotunno, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Nik Prajapati, Samuel Berweger, Dangka Shylla, Matt Simons, Christopher L. Holloway
Applying a magnetic field as a method for tuning the frequency of Autler-Townes splitting for Rydberg electrometry has recently been demonstrated. In this Letter, we provide a theoretical understanding of Rydberg electromechanically-induced-transparency

A relativistic framework to establish Coordinate time on the Moon and Beyond

February 17, 2024
Author(s)
Neil Ashby, Bijunath Patla
The rate of clocks, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, is influenced by the gravitational potential and relative motion of the clocks. A grid of synchronized clocks that is traceable to an ideal clock at a predetermined point in space is the

Optical frequency division & pulse synchronization using a photonic-crystal microcomb injected chip-scale mode-locked laser

February 15, 2024
Author(s)
Chinmay Shirpurkar, Jizhao Zang, Ricardo Bustos-Ramirez, David Carlson, Travis Briles, Lawrence R. Trask, Srinivas V. Pericherla, Di Huang, Ashish Bhardwaj, Gloria E. Hoefler, Scott Papp, Peter J. Delfyett
A mode-locked laser photonic integrated circuit with a repetition rate of 10 GHz is optically synchronized to a tantalabased photonic crystal resonator comb with a repetition rate of 200 GHz. The synchronization is achieved through regenerative harmonic

Multi-kilowatt cw laser power measurement comparison between NMI standards

February 14, 2024
Author(s)
Kyle Rogers, Paul A. Williams, John H. Lehman, Marco Lopez, Marcel Pastuschek, Holger Lecher, Stefan Kueck
We present here the first comparison between National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) of high accuracy continuous wave (cw) optical power measurements in the kilowatt regime. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performed measurements with
