Trapped-ion systems are a promising route toward the realization of both near-term and universal quantum computers. However, one of the pressing challenges is improving the fidelity of two-qubit entangling gates. These operations are often…

Robust laser delivery and stabilization are key components in atom-based quantum technologies, such as quantum computing. Moving these technologies towards product-like deployment requires scalable, compact, cost-effective, and upgradable…

We demonstrate thermal-noise-limited direct locking of a semiconductor distributed feedback (DFB) laser to a sub-1 mL volume, ultrastable optical cavity, enabling extremely compact and simple ultrastable laser systems. Using the…

Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) laser frequency stabilization is a powerful technique widely used for building narrow-linewidth lasers. This technique is however ineffective in suppressing high-frequency (>100~kHz) laser phase noise detrimental for…

We present a technique for coherence transfer of laser light through a branching fiber link, where the optical phase noise induced by environmental perturbations via the fiber link is passively compensated by remote users without the…

The stabilization of lasers on ultra-stable optical cavities by the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique is a widely used method. The PDH method relies on the phase-modulation of the laser, which is usually performed by an electro-optic…

An efficient method to tune the spatial coherence of a degenerate laser over a broad range with minimum variation in the total output power is presented. It is based on varying the diameter of a spatial filter inside the laser cavity. The…

We report on the dependence of the frequency-to-intensity noise conversion in the locking of an ultrafast laser against a high-finesse optical resonator from the Carrier Envelope Offset (CEO) frequency. By a proper combination of the cavity…

We explore new regimes of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors with multiple optical carriers which allow to reduce the quantum noise of these detectors. In particular, we show that using two carriers with the opposite…

High-harmonic generation (HHG) normally requires a careful adjustment of the driving laser intensity (typically $10^{14} - 10^{15}$ W/cm$^2$) and gas medium parameters to enable good phase matching conditions. In contrast with conventional…

A precision measurement is proposed to determine, in a couple hours of integration time, the axion Compton frequency using a modest power (3 mW) tunable external-cavity diode laser at 2458 nm as input to drive a free-space table-top…

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) causes fluctuations of pulse energy, of the optical phase and of the timing of the pulse intensity envelope in a mode-locked laser or frequency comb. Starting from the assumption of one ASE photon per…

The residual amplitude modulation ($\mathrm{RAM}$) is the undesired, non-zero amplitude modulation that usually occurs when a phase modulation based on the electro-optic effect is imprinted on a laser beam. In this work, we show that…

By reentering into laser interferometers, scattered or stray light introduces non-linear noise. This is a major limitation of precision interferometers as preventing such parasitic light is nearly impossible. Thus, substantial effort is put…

An ultra-low intensity and beatnote phase noise dual-frequency vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser is built at telecom wavelength. The pump laser is realized by polarization combining two single-mode fibered laser diodes in a…

We propose a nonlinear fiber system for shot-noise limited, all-optical intensity-noise reduction and signal amplification. The mechanism is based on the accumulation of different nonlinear phase shifts between orthogonal polarization modes…

We propose and demonstrate a technique to control the balance between the two amplitudes of a dual-wavelength laser based on a phase-controlled optical feedback. The feedback cavity length is adjusted to achieve a relative phase shift…

We report on the development of a frequency modulatable 795 nm semiconductor laser based on self-injection locking to a high quality factor whispering gallery mode microresonator. The laser is characterized with residual amplitude…

We perform a comparative study of the phase noise induced in the lasers used for Bragg diffraction in a Bose-Einstein condensate-based quantum gravimeter where the Bragg beams are generated using two different configurations. In one of the…

Lasers with high intensity generally exhibit strong intensity fluctuations far above the shot-noise level. Taming this noise is pivotal to a wide range of applications, both classical and quantum. Here, we demonstrate the creation of…
