Traditional lasers function using resonant cavities, in which the round-trip optical path is equal to an integer multiple of the intracavity wavelengths to constructively enhance the spontaneous emission rate. Taking advantage of the cavity enhancement effect, the narrowest sub-10-mHz-linewidth laser and a 10 −16 -fractional-frequency-stability superradiant active optical clock (AOC) have been achieved. However, a laser with atomic spontaneous radiation being destructively inhibited in an anti…

This work proposes a scheme of cavity-stabilized active optical clock, which consists of two key procedures: the good-cavity signal is locked to a reference cavity by the Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) technique to stabilize the main-Cavity length, and the frequency stability of the bad-c Cavity signal will break this noise floor due to the suppression of the cavity-pulling effect.

Observations of the second-order intensity correlation function demonstrate that the experimental realization of a one-atom laser operated in the regime of strong coupling generates manifestly quantum (nonclassical) light, typified by photon anti-bunching and sub-poissonian photon statistics.

A superradiant emission of hyperbolic secant shaped pulses into the cavity with an intensity proportional to the square of the atom number, a duration much shorter than the natural lifetime of the ^{3}P_{1} state, and a delay time fluctuating from shot to shot are observed in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.
