HeNe双频激光器频差的激光内雕赋值法

在精密测量领域,HeNe激光器是制造激光干涉仪的首选.但能够产生中频差4—40 MHz的双折射-塞曼双频HeNe激光器的频差是随机的,小到几百kHz,大到十几MHz.为了让频差能够满足制作双频激光干涉仪的要求,曾出现过弹性加力法、钻孔应力调节法等调整和频差赋值的方法.但这些方法在实际应用中都不是很理想.采用激光内雕法赋值频差,通过在激光器的平面输出镜内部雕刻出不同图案,使平面镜内部产生满足要求的相位延迟,达到为频差赋值的目的.激光内雕法有很多优点:不损害激光器,美观;功率损失小,出光强度可接近原始光强度;可反复赋值,频差在0—60 MHz范围内可调整;频差的稳定性好,采用稳频措施后频差的波动范围小于每小时10 kHz.

New possibilities for frequency stabilization of far infrared lasers

All spectrometers based on the use of a far infrared laser present the drawback of the laser frequency uncertainty. Even if the knowledge of the laser frequency is very precise, a shift of the laser cavity length is always present, limiting the spectrometer frequency accuracy to 500 kHz.The goal of this paper is to give a solution to this drawback in demonstrating the feasibility of a frequency stabilization of the far infrared laser.     

Frequency stabilization of multiple semiconductor lasers using digital feedback loop

We propose and demonstrate a simple technique to stabilize the frequencies of multiple semiconductor lasers simultaneously using a Fabry-Perot etalon filter and a digital signal processing. Unlike other stabilization techniques, the proposed technique could stabilize DFB lasers using only one digital feedback control loop. The result shows that the proposed technique could maintain the frequency stability of 16 DFB lasers within ±150 MHz.

A Simple Frequency Lock of Green YAG Laser to Dispersion Line of the Linear Absorption Spectrum of Iodine Molecules Utilizing an Acousto-Optic Frequency Shifter

Frequency of a 532 nm emission line of a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser is stabilized by lock of the output line to the linear absorption line of iodine molecules. The stabilization method is very simple utilizing the frequency shift caused with an acousto-optic modulator. The laser frequency was stabilized at the zero-crossing point of the second-derivative of the dispersion curve. Instability obtained by the error signal is affected by the phase-characteristics of detectors, which results in 3^*10^-8.

Two Nd：YAG lasers operating at 1064 nm are separately servo-locked to two vertically mounted ultra-stable cavities. The optical heterodyne beat between two cavity-stabilized lasers shows that the linewidth of each laser reaches 2 Hz and the average frequency drift reduces to less than 1 Hz/s.     

Accurate frequency atlas of molecular iodine near 532 nm measured by an optical frequency comb generator

An optical frequency comb generator (OFCG) at 1064 nm with a modulation frequency of 2 GHz is developed for an accurate optical frequency link between iodine absorption lines near 532 nm. With the OFCG, we have measured frequency differences between seventeen ¹²⁷I₂ transitions with a measurement uncertainty of about 240 Hz (relatively 4.3×10⁻¹³), which is mainly contributed from the frequency repeatability of iodine-stabilized Nd:YAG lasers. The measured transitions provide an attractive frequency reference network and are excellent candidates for the practical realization of the meter.     

Frequency stabilization of an internal mirror HeNe laser at 543.5 nm to I2-Saturated absorptions

An internal mirror green HeNe (GRENE) laser at 543.5 nm has been frequency stabilized to I₂-Doppler free absorption signals with a frequency stability of few parts in 10¹⁰. The saturated absorption signals were detected using doubly-differential saturated absorption which eliminates the Doppler background and allows first-derivative locking methods. Two absorption lines R(12)26-0 and R(106)28-0 of ¹²⁷I² were investigated and the hyperfine structure was resolved. Random polarization flips of the GRENE were suppressed by applying a transverse magnetic field to the laser tube near the anode.Present address: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, D-3300 Braunschweig, Fed.

Laser frequency stabilization and large detuning by Doppler-free dichroic lock technique: Application to atom cooling

We present results of a study of frequency stabilization of a diode laser (λ = 780 nm) using the Doppler-free dichroic lock (DFDL) technique and its use for laser cooling of atoms. Quantitative measurements of frequency stability were performed and the Allan variance was found to be 6.9 × 10¹¹ for an averaging time of 10 s. The frequency-stabilized diode laser was used to obtain the trapping beams for a magneto-optic trap (MOT) for Rb atoms. Using the DFDL technique, the laser frequency could be locked over a wide range and this enabled measurement of detuning dependence of the number and temperature of cold atoms using a relatively simple experimental set-up.
