  • Coherent light source based on collective spontaneous emission
    Patent number: 12322920
    Abstract: A coherent light source provides spontaneous emission (Dicke superradiance/subradiance) using a dilute and optically thin cloud of disordered atoms. The coherent light source provides improved noise statistics over that of a laser and ? accordingly, may be used in sensitive interferometric applications such as light gyroscopes.
    Type: Grant
