Towards a continuous wave superradiant Calcium Laser — •David Nak and Andreas Hemmerich — Institut für Laser-Physik, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Deutschland

Superradiant Lasers are suitable as narrow light sources with ultralow bandwidth, as their emission frequency is only weakly dependent on an eigenfrequency of the laser cavity. They can be used as a read-out tool for precise optical atomic clocks. Currently, our experiment loads cold Calcium-40 atoms from a magneto optical trap into a one-dimensional optical lattice prepared inside a cavity. By incoherent population of the metastable triplet state, pulsed superradiant emission on the intercombination line was realized [1].

At present, the setup is being extended by an incoherent repumping mechanism, which will allow continuous wave operation.
