Master's thesis: Compact Laser Stabilization System

Background
RISE hosts the Sweden’s National Metrology Institute (NMI), responsible for maintaining and developing the national measurement standards that underpin science, industry, and society. As part of the frequency metrology activities, the NMI develops and characterizes optical and microwave frequency standards, frequency combs, and ultra-stable laser systems used for traceable calibration and advanced measurement services.

Description
High-performance lasers are central to many advanced technologies, precision spectroscopy, frequency metrology, atomic clocks, quantum sensing and optical communications. To reach the frequency stability required for high-precision applications, lasers are typically locked to optical resonators. However, conventional cavity-stabilized systems rely on vacuum chambers and elaborate vibration isolation, which makes them bulky and sensitive to environmental disturbances.

Recent advances show that both single-freque...
