Abstract
Lasers with long coherence time and narrow linewidth are an essential tool for quantum sensors and clocks. Ultrastable cavities and laser systems are now commercially available with fractional frequency instabilities in the mid range. This document aims to provide technical guidance for researchers starting in the field of ultrastable lasers and to give an outlook toward the next generation of improved ultrastable lasers. These guidelines have arisen from the scope of the EMPIR project ``Next generation ultrastable lasers'' ( https://www.ptb.de/empir2021/nextlasers ) with contributions from the European project partners.
