Visible lasers with subhertz linewidths

BC Young, FC Cruz, WM Itano, JC Bergquist - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
We report a visible laser with a subhertz linewidth for use in precision spectroscopy and as a
local oscillator for an optical frequency standard. The laser derives its stability from a well …
