An introduction to Pound–Drever–Hall laser frequency stabilization
نویسنده
چکیده
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 technique for the first time and the teacher who wants to cover modern laser locking in an upper-level physics or electrical engineering course. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers. @DOI: 10.1119/1.1286663#

Sub-kHz-level relative stabilization of an intracavity doubled continuous wave optical parametric oscillator using Pound-Drever-Hall scheme.
We report the relative frequency stabilization of an intracavity frequency doubled singly resonant optical parametric oscillator on a Fabry-Perot étalon. The red/orange radiation produced by the frequency doubling of the intracavity resonant idler is stabilized using the Pound-Drever-Hall locking technique. The relative frequency noise of this orange light, when integrated from 1 Hz to 50 kHz, ...

متن کاملFiber strain sensor based on a pi-phase-shifted Bragg grating and the Pound-Drever-Hall technique.
A fiber strain sensor based on a p-phase-shifted Bragg grating and an extended cavity diode laser is proposed. Locking the laser frequency to grating resonance by the Pound-Drever-Hall technique results in a strain power spectral density S(epsilon) (f) = (3 x 10(-19) f(-1) +2.6 x 10(-23)) epsilon(2)/Hz in the Fourier frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz (epsilon being the applied strain), corre...
متن کاملStabilization of heterogeneous silicon lasers using Pound-Drever-Hall locking to Si3N4 ring resonators
Recent results on heterogeneous Si/III-V lasers and ultra-high Q Si3N4 resonators are implemented in a Pound-Drever-Hall frequency stabilization system to yield narrow linewidth characteristics for a stable onchip laser reference. The high frequency filtering is performed with Si resonant mirrors in the laser cavity. To suppress close in noise and frequency walk off, the laser is locked to an u...
متن کاملA linewidth-narrowed and frequency-stabilized dye laser for application in laser cooling of molecules.
We demonstrate a robust and versatile solution for locking the continuous-wave dye laser for applications in laser cooling of molecules which need linewidth-narrowed and frequency-stabilized lasers. The dye laser is first stabilized with respect to a reference cavity by Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique which results in a single frequency with the linewidth 200 kHz and short-term stabilization,...
