AB - We demonstrate continuous loading and strong collective coupling of atoms to a high finesse ring cavity. A series of spatially separated laser cooling stages delivers a continuous flux of 2.1‚� ¢(3)√ó107 88Sr atoms/s into an intracavity magic wavelength lattice where the atoms are deterministically transported inside the ring cavity. We observe a continuous atom-cavity vacuum Rabi splitting, demonstrating the first steady-state strong collective coupling on a narrow linewidth atomic transition. This Letter opens the path to future continuous cold atom devices, such as a continuous wave superradiant laser with millihertz linewidth and low vibration sensitivity, enabling searches for new physics and technologies.
