兰姆凹陷稳频工作点自动识别技术

兰姆凹陷稳频激光器中,在压电陶瓷的调整范围内会周期性出现多个兰姆凹陷曲线波形,不同兰姆凹陷曲线的切换点处激光器的输出功率为极小值,与兰姆凹陷点的特征相同。制造工艺无法保证激光器切换点处的输出功率极小值一定大于或小于凹陷点处的功率极小值,因此无法通过激光输出功率及调制输出信号的相位关系直接区分切换点和凹陷点。经过分析兰姆凹陷现象的形成原因、推导兰姆凹陷曲线表达式、分析兰姆凹陷线型特点,发现兰姆凹陷曲线在凹陷区域两侧各有一波形拐点,在拐点附近,一次导数曲线会发生跳变,而在凹陷区域则无此现象。这一特点可以作为软件自动识别切换点和凹陷点的判据,实现自动兰姆凹陷稳频。     

Frequency Stability Improvement of a Two-Mode Stabilized 633-nm He-Ne Laser

The red side (lower-frequency) mode of a two-mode stabilized 633-nm He-Ne laser has been locked to the hyperfine structure of the P() line of (127)I(2) by means of frequency modulation spectroscopy enhanced by an external optical cavity. Both the red side and blue side (higher-frequency) modes of the laser exhibit a frequency stability of 2.3 x 10(-11) tau(-1/2). In addition, the frequency fluctuations of the blue side mode are detected by a Fabry-Perot cavity and compensated through an acousto-optic frequency shifter. The short-term stability of better than 3 x 10(-11) is attained for integration times of between 2 x 10(-3) and 2 x 10(-1) s.     

Accurate Absolute Frequency Measurements on Stabilized CO2 and He-Ne Infrared Lasers

In our laboratory, we have measured the frequencies of CO2 and He-Ne lasers near 30 and 88 THz, stabilized, respectively, by saturated fluorescence in CO2 and saturated absorption in CH4. Our measurement system includes a stable free-running optically pumped CH3OH laser at 4.25 THz replacing the noisy H2O laser used as a transfer oscillator in early experiments. As a result of the reduced mixing orders (?9), beat notes between lasers are now observed with ?30-dB signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios in a 100-kHz bandwidth. Therefore, beat frequencies can be measured accurately with digital counters and simultaneous counting of the frequencies involved largely eliminates the uncertainties due to transfer oscillators. The measurements are referred to the cesium beam frequency standard. The results are processed by a desktop calculator which also controls the measurement process.     

Frequency Stabilization of X-Band Sources for Use in Frequency Synthesis into the Infrared

An X-band source of excellent frequency stability is needed in infrared frequency multiplication of high order. Such a source has been used in frequency multiplication by a factor of 401 using a point-contact Josephson junction as a frequency multiplier and mixer. Noise data on three X-band systems are reported. Two of these systems use klystrons as the source of X-band power; the other uses a Gunn oscillator. Each of these three systems employs both cavity and injection stabilization. Injection stabilization, using a quartz-oscillator-driven multiplier chain, provides the second-to-second and minute-to-minute stability needed for the Josephson junction experiment. To our knowledge, this is the first published noise data where cavity and injection stabilization are simultaneously employed. The quality of the best system reported here is much better-both around 1 Hz from the carrier and around 50 kHz from the carrier?than the source used to multiply by a factor of 401 to 3.8 THz.     

A Stabilized Fiber Laser for High-Resolution Low-Frequency Strain Sensing

We frequency stabilize a fiber laser for use in low-frequency sensing applications. Using a radio frequency locking technique, an Erbium-doped single longitudinal mode fiber laser is stabilized to a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The low-frequency fiber laser noise was suppressed by more than 1.5 orders of magnitude at frequencies below 300 Hz reaching a minimum of 2 ${rm Hz}/sqrt {rm Hz}$ between 60 and 250 Hz. The corresponding strain sensitivities are 2 ${rm p}epsilon /sqrt {rm Hz}$ at 1 Hz and 15 ${rm f}epsilon /sqrt {rm Hz}$ from 60 to 250 Hz.

A High Average Power Dye Laser Powered by a Vortex Stabilized Flashlamp

A flashlamp pumped organic dye laser has recently been operated at an average power output of 114 W. This is the highest average power ever reported for a dye laser. The laser was excited by a high power, vortex stabilized flashlamp. In this type of lamp a fast flow of argon gas is injected near the walls. The gas swirls inward and exits through holes in the electrodes. The fast gas flow provides cooling to allow the lamp to operate at high average power and it also stabilizes the position of the discharge. The lamp was used in an elliptical pumping cavity, with the lamp at one focus. The arc length in the lamp was 10 cm. The dye was circulated through a transverse flow channel at the other focus. The lamp was fired at repetition rates up to 357 Hz and with an energy per pulse of 211 J, i.e. an average power of 75 kW. The laser output pulses had a full width at half maximum of 1·8 μ sec. The average power output increased nearly linearly with repetition rate to a maximum of 114 W at 255 Hz. The achievement of even higher powers was limited by the replacement rate of dye in the channel and a drop in the flashlamp intensity at higher repetition rates. The dye used in these experiments was Rhodamine 6G in an ethanol solution.

An Optical Frequency Comb Tied to GPS for Laser Frequency/Wavelength Calibration

Optical frequency combs can be employed over a broad spectral range to calibrate laser frequency or vacuum wavelength. This article describes procedures and techniques utilized in the Precision Engineering Division of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) for comb-based calibration of laser wavelength, including a discussion of ancillary measurements such as determining the mode order. The underlying purpose of these calibrations is to provide traceable standards in support of length measurement. The relative uncertainty needed to fulfill this goal is typically 10⁻⁸ and never below 10⁻¹², very modest requirements compared to the capabilities of comb-based frequency metrology. In this accuracy range the Global Positioning System (GPS) serves as an excellent frequency reference that can provide the traceable underpinning of the measurement. This article describes techniques that can be used to completely characterize measurement errors in a GPS-based comb system and thus achieve full confidence in measurement results.
