A compact laser system with integrated spectroscopy unit was developed as a prototype for optical frequency references on nanosatellites. Light from a distributed feedback laser diode is used for spectroscopy of rubidium in a vapor cell. The microintegration of optics with a size of a few millimeters allowed a significant size reduction (70× 26× 19 mm3) while maintaining the performance of larger realizations: σy(τ=1 s)=1.7× 10−12.
This work has been done in a joint collaboration between Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and National University of Singapore, supported by the Berlin University Alliance and by the German Space Agency (DLR) with funds provided by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) under grant number 50RK1971. The microintegration was realized at Ferdinand-Braun-Institut gGmbh, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik.
