Laser frequency stabilization to a single ion
A fundamental limit to the stability of a single-ion optical frequency standard is set by quantum noise in the measurement of the internal state of the ion. We discuss how the interrogation sequence and the processing of the atomic resonance signal can be optimized in order to obtain the highest possible stability under realistic experimental conditions. A servo algorithm is presented that stab...
متن کاملFrequency stabilization of a single mode terahertz quantum cascade laser to the kilohertz level.
A simple analog locking circuit was shown to stabilize the beat signal between a 2.408 THz quantum cascade laser and a CH(2)DOH THz CO(2) optically pumped molecular laser to 3-4 kHz (FWHM). This is approximately a tenth of the observed long-term (t approximately sec) linewidth of the optically pumped laser showing that the feedback loop corrects for much of the mechanical and acoustic-induced f...
متن کاملStabilization of diode-laser frequency to atomic transitions
Different methods of stabilization of diode lasers are reviewed with the emphasis on stabilization to atomic transitions. The stabilization methods to Doppler-broadened and Doppler-free resonances are presented. A novel method of stabilization using the saturated dichroism of atomic vapours is described. An example of stability transfer from the diode laser onto the reference Fabry–Perot cavity...
متن کاملCalibrating an interferometric laser frequency stabilization to MHz precision
We report on a calibration procedure that enhances the precision of an interferometer based frequency stabilization by several orders of magnitude. For this purpose the frequency deviations of the stabilization are measured precisely by means of a frequency comb. This allows to implement several calibration steps that compensate different systematic errors. The resulting frequency deviation is ...
متن کاملAn introduction to Pound–Drever–Hall laser frequency stabilization
This paper is an introduction to an elegant and powerful technique in modern optics: Pound– Drever–Hall laser frequency stabilization. This introduction is primarily meant to be conceptual, but it includes enough quantitative detail to allow the reader to immediately design a real setup, suitable for research or industrial application. The intended audience is both the researcher learning the t...
