Lasers stabilized to known transitions between energy levels in well‐isolated quantum systems are essential for numerous applications, e.g. in metrology, optical communications, and sensing. In article number 1900414, Uriel Levy, Roy Zektzer, and co‐workers demonstrate a chip scale integrated photonic‐molecular system where acetylene molecules are coupled to photonic nano‐waveguides, providing narrow and stable absorption signals to which a telecom laser frequency is stabilized.
