Cold-Strontium Laser in the Superradiant Crossover Regime

Today’s narrowest linewidth lasers are limited by mirror motion in the reference optical resonator used to stabilize the laser’s frequency. Recent proposals suggest that superradiant lasers based on narrow dipole-forbidden transitions in cold alkaline earth atoms could offer a way around this limita...
