We show that incoherent pumping of an optical lattice clock system with ultracold strontium-88 atoms produces laser light with a ≃10 Hz linewidth when the atoms are exposed to a magnetic field. This linewidth is orders of magnitude smaller than both the cavity linewidth and the incoherent atomic decay and excitation rates. The narrow lasing is due to an interplay of multiatom superradiant effects and the coupling of bright and dark atom-light dressed states by the magnetic field.
我们表明,当用超冷的锶 - 88原子对光晶格钟系统进行非相干泵浦时,在原子暴露于磁场的情况下会产生线宽约为10 Hz的激光。该线宽比腔线宽以及非相干原子衰变和激发速率都小几个数量级。窄激光发射是由于多原子超辐射效应与磁场对亮态和暗态原子 - 光缀饰态的耦合之间的相互作用。
