Towards a steady-state superradiant optical clock — •Shayne Bennetts, Rodrigo Gonzalez Escudero, Chun-Chia Chen, Benjamin Pasquiou, and Florian Schreck — Institute of Physics, University of Amsterdam

Superradiant lasers have been proposed as a next generation optical atomic clock [1]. Recently, a pulsed superradiant laser was demonstrated using the 87Sr clock transition [2] but a clock with millihertz stability requires steady-state operation.

Building on our earlier work [3] we have demonstrated sources ideal for pumping a steady-state superradiant laser. Firstly, our steady state beam guided horizontally by a dipole laser has a radial temperature of  1µK and a flux >6 × 106 88Sr/s. Additionally, by using a new deceleration and cooling technique [4] we show we are able to cool and trap this beam in a dipole trap forming a continuously loaded reservoir of atoms. These show great potential for pumping a continuous superradiant laser and making a steady-state BEC or atom laser. We also demonstrate operation of this architecture on the 87Sr isotope which is of particular interest for clocks. Finally, we will describe a next generation machine we are constructing based on these techniques which aims to produce a steady state superradiant laser.
