光纤面板窗多碱光电阴极荧光谱特性研究

论述了光致荧光的特点以及微光像增强器多碱光电阴极光致荧光的测量原理, 测量了光纤面板输入窗多碱光电阴极的荧光谱. 测试结果表明, 光纤面板窗的多碱阴极的荧光谱不是一条光滑的高斯型曲线, 而是在一条高斯型曲线上叠加了一些小的干涉峰的曲线. 原因是光纤面板窗所传输的荧光中, 有两束特殊的光线. 一束光为准直光, 另一束光为入射角刚好等于全反射临界角的反射光. 这两束光具有固定的相位差或光程. 当这两束光的相位差相差λ的整数倍时, 它们将干涉并产生干涉加强峰;当这两束光的相位差相差1/2λ的奇数倍时, 它们将干涉并产生干涉减弱峰. 如果在荧光谱的峰值波长处刚好产生干涉加强峰, 那么所测量的峰值荧光强度较其固有的峰值荧光强度要高; 反之, 如果在荧光谱的峰值波长处刚好出现干涉减弱峰, 那么所测量的荧光强度就小于其固有的荧光强度. 另外由于受到干涉的影响, 荧光曲线半峰宽也不能精确确定,所以在分析光纤面板窗光电阴极的荧光谱时, 要考虑到干涉因素的影响.

Full stabilization of a microresonator-based optical frequency comb

We demonstrate control and stabilization of an optical frequency comb generated by four-wave mixing in a monolithic microresonator with a mode spacing in the microwave regime (86 GHz). The comb parameters (mode spacing and offset frequency) are controlled via the power and the frequency of the pump laser, which constitutes one of the comb modes. Furthermore, generation of a microwave beat note at the comb's mode spacing frequency is demonstrated, enabling direct stabilization to a microwave frequency standard.     

Low-noise, tunable diode laser for ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy

We demonstrate the excellent spectral properties of a diode laser setup that combines good tunability with superb short-term frequency stability and controllability. It is based on merging two concepts, the diode laser with resonant optical feedback and the grating stabilized diode laser. To characterize the short-term performance we beat two essentially identical diode lasers and find a short-term linewidth of ~11 kHz. Phase locking between these lasers is achieved with a servo bandwidth as small as 46 kHz, although an analog phase detector is used that requires subradian residual phase error. Despite small phase error detection range and small servo bandwidth, cycle-slip-free phase locking is accomplished for typically many 10 min, and the optical power is essentially contained in a spectral window of less than 20 mHz relative to the optical reference. Due to the excellent performance this laser concept is well suited for atomic or molecular coherence experiments, which require phase locking of different lasers to each other, and as part of a flywheel for optical clocks.     

Some effects of optical alignment errors in a differential laser Doppler velocimeter

A formulation has been developed to treat the effects of alignment errors of the optical system used in a differential laser Doppler velocimeter. It is then applied to analyse the properties of output beat signals obtained by the velocimeter. The effects of optical alignment errors on the spectral width and signal-to-noise ratio of the output beat signals and on the probing volume are investigated in some detail. The spectral width is not affected very much by the deviation of the angle between two beams incident on the probing volume, but depends mainly on the number of interference fringes produced in that volume. The signal-to-noise ratio is very sensitive to the displacement of two incident beams on the probing volume and is also affected by the intensity and beam width differences of these two beams. The probing volume is evaluated in the case of two incident beams having different beam widths.     

SOA-fiber ring laser and its application to electric field sensing in frequency domain

We have developed a novel optical fiber ring laser using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as the gain medium, and taking advantage of polarization anisotropy of its gain. The laser can control the oscillation frequency difference between two counterpropagating lights by incorporating a birefringent medium into the ring resonator. Since the frequency difference is proportional to the birefringence, it can be measured to detect the beat frequency generated by combining two counterpropagating lights and the laser can be applied to an optical fiber sensor whose detecting signal is in frequency domain. Electric field sensor was demonstrated with a lithium niobate crystal as a sensing probe.     

Femtosecond-laser-based optical clockwork with instability</= less than or equal to 6.3 X 10(-16) in 1 s

Two octave-spanning optical-frequency combs (750-MHz comb spacing) are phase locked to a common continuous-wave laser diode. The measured instability of the heterodyne beat between the two combs demonstrates that the intrinsic fractional frequency noise of a comb is 相似文献   

Sweep optical frequency synthesizer with a distributed-Bragg-reflector laser injection locked by a single component of an optical frequency comb

A sweep optical frequency synthesizer is demonstrated by using a frequency-stabilized optical frequency comb and injection-locked distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) laser diode. The injection-locked DBR laser acts as a single-frequency filter and, simultaneously, a high-gain amplifier of the optical frequency comb. The frequency instability of the heterodyne beat signal between two independently injection-locked DBR lasers is measured to be 2.3 x 10(-16) at 1 s averaging time. The output frequency of the sweep optical frequency synthesizer can be precisely tuned over 1 GHz, and a saturated absorption spectrum of the Cs D2 line at 852 nm is recorded by the injected DBR laser.     

Single high-order round-trip feedback effects in orthogonally polarized dual frequency laser

We present the effects of single high-order round-trip feedback in orthogonally polarized dual frequency laser. The high quality intensity fringes of two orthogonally polarized lights are obtained, which are cosine-like. The fringe frequency of a single high-order round-trip feedback is five times that of the conventional optical feedback. Even higher frequencies are possible with this setup. Particularly, there is a phase difference between two orthogonal polarized lights in single high-order round-trip feedback and the phase difference is determined by the feedback order, the length of the external cavity, and the frequency difference of the two orthogonal polarized lights. A theoretical analysis based on a compound cavity model of a dual frequency laser agrees well with the experimental results. These results provide a potential application in precision measurement with both directional discrimination and high optical resolution.     

Optical frequency counter based on two mode-locked fiber laser combs

This work demonstrates a semi-automatic optical frequency counter based on two mode-locked fiber laser combs. The mode number of the comb line involved in the optical frequency measurement is determined by operating the two laser combs at three different repetition rates, with two of them similar enough to have the same mode number of the beating comb lines. The determination of the mode number is independent of the frequency fluctuation of the laser under measurement. The whole measurement process was automated, except for the frequency stabilization of the laser combs and the optimization of the beat signal–to–noise ratio.     

Dynamische Eigenschaften von Laser-Oszillatoren. I

The dynamic behavior of the laserfrequencies induced by non-linearities of the active medium is investigated experimentally. Measurements were performed in a laser device of high mechanical stability protected against acoustical noise. Results are discussed in the representative 3-mode-case. Combination tones, as predicted byLamb, were directly observed by a coupled optical amplifier with 5 · 10³ cps band width. All observed frequencies are classified in a simple energy level diagram containing only the differences between the original laserfrequencies. Simultaneously performed beat frequency measurements agree with the optically determined spacing between combination tones and original laserfrequencies.
