Dual-axis cubic cavity for drift-compensated multi-wavelength laser stabilisation

We describe a 'clock control unit' based on a dual-axis cubic cavity (DACC) for the frequency stabilisation of lasers involved in a strontium optical lattice clock. The DACC, which ultimately targets deployment in space applications, provides a short-term stable reference for all auxiliary lasers-i.e. cooling, clear-out, and optical lattice-in a single multi-band cavity. Long-term cavity drift is compensated by a feed-forward scheme exploiting a...
