9360877 Pierce Cygnus Laser proposes to replace the semiconductor laser as a source for high resolution laser spectroscopy and high precision atomic clocks with a compact, all solid state laser source based upon titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:S). Recent spectacular improvements in the efficiency and output power of a continuous-wave frequency doubled diode pumped Nd:YAG laser has made this system feasible in the near term, with attractive overall wall plug efficiency. Our quasi monolithic single frequency Ti:S laser is approximately the same size as a stabilized single mode diode laser system, but it is intrinsically frequency stable, dramatically reducing the complexity and increasing the reliability of the active stabilization system. It will be an ideal source for the next generation of atomic clocks and other frequency standards. ***

9360877 Pierce Cygnus Laser 建议使用基于掺钛蓝宝石 (Ti:S) 的紧凑型全固态激光源来取代作为高分辨率激光光谱和高精度原子钟源的半导体激光器。最近，连续波倍频二极管泵浦 Nd:YAG 激光器的效率和输出功率取得了惊人的改进，使该系统在短期内变得可行，并具有有吸引力的整体电光转换效率。 我们的准单片单频 Ti:S 激光器的尺寸与稳定单模二极管激光系统大致相同，但它本质上是频率稳定的，从而大大降低了主动稳定系统的复杂性并提高了可靠性。 它将成为下一代原子钟和其他频率标准的理想来源。 ***
