Abstract: Since the development of laser locking technology in the 1980s,ultrastable lasers have played an important role in high-precision optical quantum time-frequency metrology,such as optical clocks,gravitational wave detection,cavity quantum electrodynamics,and satellite-ground communication.The Pound-Drever-Hall(PDH) technology provides a good way to stabilize free running lasers.Here,by utilizing such method,we lock the 852 nm wavelength laser to the resonance frequency of the ultrastable cavity to achieve the highly-stabilized laser output.In the experiment,the quality factor of the ultrastable resonator reached 10¹⁰,the finesse reached 200,000,and the 1 second frequency stability of the output laser reached 5.2×10^-15 with laser linewidth of 2.3 Hz.This continuous laser with such frequency stability will provide robust technical support for an 852 nm clock laser with good correlation with Cs atoms.
