Abstract

In quantum science and technology applications such as optical clocks, ultrastable laser sources can address extremely narrow atomic transitions without introducing noise to the system. The required level of stability and precision has historically only been achieved under controlled laboratory conditions. Novel commercial solutions combined with new approaches are now meeting the high demands for field applications of emergent quantum technologies.
