Description

We report on development of a strontium optical lattice clock built with integrated photonics. We implement free-space laser beam control of positioning, pointing, shaping, polarization, and integration with metasurface optics, and absolute laser-frequency stabilization with waveguide supercontinuum generators. Such use of integrated photonics can simplify the system integration of Sr clocks. We demonstrate laser cooling to microKelvin temperature with narrow-line cooling, and we will describe ongoing work to probe the clock transition with lattice-trapped atoms.
