Simultaneous modulation transfer spectroscopy on transitions of multiple atomic species for compact laser frequency reference modules

subject

description

We present a technique for simultaneous laser frequency stabilization on transitions of multiple atomic species with a single optical setup. The method is based on modulation transfer spectroscopy and the signals are separated by modulating at different frequencies and electronically filtered. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate simultaneous spectroscopy of the potassium D$_1$, D$_2$ and rubidium D$_2$ transitions. The technique can easily be extended to other atomic species and allows the development of versatile and compact frequency reference modules.
