Abstract

A laser stabilization system includes laser source having first and second ends; first waveguide portion having first and second ends, first end of first waveguide portion coupled to first end of laser source; second waveguide portion having first and second ends, first end of second waveguide portion coupled to second end of laser source; micro-cavity coupled between second end of first waveguide portion and second end of second waveguide portion, micro-cavity having resonant frequency; and electronic locking loop coupled between micro-cavity and laser source, wherein electronic locking loop electronically locks laser source to resonant frequency of micro-cavity; wherein first waveguide portion is optical locking loop coupled between micro-cavity and laser source, wherein optical locking loop optically locks laser source to resonant frequency of micro-cavity; micro-cavity stabilization loop coupled with micro-cavity, wherein micro-cavity stabilization loop stabilizes resonant frequency of micro-cavity to reference frequency; and output for outputting light from system.
