Abstract:Active optical clocks take advantage of the substantial suppression of cavity pulling in the bad‐cavity lasing regime and feature the simple structure and excellent portability. In the extreme case, where the cavity mirror reflection approaches zero and cannot support any quasi‐bound modes for light waves, conventional bad‐cavity lasers become the cavityless lasing and the cavity pulling vanishes. Consequently, the laser frequency is determined entirely by the atomic transition. This work is dedicated to theor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
