Abstract: High-precision frequency-stabilized lasers are an important foundation and component for realizing the realization of quantum precision measurement.Faraday laser utilizes atomic filter for frequency selection,and the output wavelength is limited to the transmission spectrum near the atomic transition frequency,which has significant advantages such as automatic correspondence between wavelength and atomic spectral line,narrow linewidth,and resistance to laser diode current and temperature fluctuations.Faraday lasers have many applications in the field of quantum metrology,such as atomic clocks,atomic gravimeters,and atomic magnetometers.Starting from the research background and basic principle of Faraday lasers,we introduce the practical applications and important values of Faraday lasers in such fields as cesium atomic clock,atomic gravimeter,and optical communication are introduced.In the future,with the continuous maturity and innovation,Faraday lasers are expected to realize a wide range of applications in more fields,such as high-power laser weapons,Reedburg atomic radar,etc.,which are expected to play a greater role in the field of national defense and military industry measurement.

Key words: Faraday laser, Quantum precision measurement, Atomic clock
