Frequency Stabilization of Pulsed Injection-Seeded OPO Based on Optical Heterodyne Technique

A frequency stabilizing system for a pulsed injection seeded 1550 nm optical parametric oscillator(OPO) at 20 Hz repetition rate is demonstrated.The optical heterodyne method is used to measure the frequency difference between the seed laser and the OPO output.Using the frequency difference as the error signal,a proportionalintegral controller in combination with a scanner is applied to stably match the OPO cavity length to the seed laser frequency.The root-mean-square(rms) error of the frequency discrimination method is 0.07 MHz according to a ‘frequency shifting-chopping-beat' evaluation.The frequency fluctuation of the frequency-stabilized OPO is0.29 MHz(rms),and the Allan deviation is less than 20 k Hz for averaging time of more than 3 s.

A novel design for a highly efficient 1-kHz single-frequency green laser is proposed.An efficient singlefrequency laser pulse output at 532-nm wavelength may be obtained by combining the injection seeding with intracavity frequency doubling in a compact U-shaped cavity formed by two plano dichroic mirrors in an end-pumping arrangement.The laser is capable of producing green pulses with a total energy of 6.3 mJ at a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.The pulse width is about 10 ns and the optical-optical efficiency from the 808-nm pump source to the 532-nm green output is around 12.7%.

随着空间技术的发展,空间数据传输速率日益成为制约空间科技应用的瓶颈。空间相干光通信技术由于其较高的通信灵敏度、较强的抗干扰能力和较高的保密性成为研究的热点。在空间相干光通信技术中,零差相干光通信体制在理论上具有最好的灵敏度和抗干扰能力,但需要复杂的锁相闭环系统,对本振激光器的线宽和激光频率调谐带宽都提出了很高的要求。在1550 nm波段,现有的常规激光器难以同时满足窄线宽和高调谐带宽的要求。为此,采用窄线宽种子源结合外电光调制和窄带光栅滤波的方案,实现了光谱信噪比约为28 dB、线宽约为5 kHz、激光频率调谐带宽约为1.5 MHz的激光光源输出。
