Space interferometry application of laser frequency stabilization with molecular iodine.
A number of planned space interferometry missions, including the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector, require a laser system with high-frequency stability over long time scales. A 1064 nm wavelength nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) laser stabilized to a resonant transition in molecular iodine is suitable for these missions, providing high-frequency stability at...
متن کاملMolecular Iodine Spectra and Laser Stabilization by Frequency-Doubled 1534 nm Diode Laser
By using the second harmonic radiation of a 1543 nm diode laser, several predicted rovibronic transitions of molecular iodine were observed for the first time. We demonstrated that the absolute frequency of a 1534 nm external-cavity diode laser could be frequency-stabilized to a 1MHz instability (for one second averaging time) by locking the frequency of the second harmonic generation to the de...
متن کاملAbsolute frequency stabilization of diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers to hyperfine transitions in molecular iodine.
Diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers were frequency stabilized by locking their frequency-doubled output to Doppler-free absorption lines of the (127)I(2) molecule. The successive two-sample deviation of the beat frequency between two independent iodine-stabilized lasers is less than 650 Hz, or 2.3 x 10(-12) of the laser frequency, for averaging times between 24 and 80 s.
متن کاملFrequency stabilization of an external cavity diode laser to molecular iodine at 657.483 nm.
The saturation spectrum of the P(84) 5-5 transition of 127I2 at 657.483 nm is obtained with the third-harmonic demodulation method using an external cavity diode laser. The laser frequency is modulated by modulating the diode current instead of modulating the cavity length with a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). Current modulation allows a modulation frequency that is higher than PZT modulation....
متن کاملIodine spectroscopy and absolute frequency stabilization with the second harmonic of the 1319-nm Nd:YAG laser.
We have frequency doubled a 1319-nm Nd:YAG laser in a quasi-phase-matched LiNbO(3) waveguide and used the asymptotically equal to1-mW second-harmonic output to investigate the (127)I(2) transitions near 660 nm. We reached submegahertz laser-frequency stability at a (vacuum) wavelength of 1319.098 nm by locking the second harmonic to the center of the P(48)6-6 transition.
