Abstract

An experiment setup for narrow linewidth superradiant laser based on the mechanism of an active optical clock is proposed with optical lattice trapped 40Ca. We obtain the threshold pumping rate analytically and deduce the linewidth of the superradiant laser in a bad cavity regime. The proposed laser has an extremely narrow linewidth at millihertz level and a power level of order 10−9 W.
