چکیده
Abstrucr-Two-diode laser-pumped Nd : YAG lasers have been frequency stabilized to a commercial 6.327 GHz free spectral range Fabry-Perot interferometer yielding a best-case beatnote linewidth of 330 mHz. In addition, a Fabry-Perot interferometer with a free spectral range of 680 MHz, a linewidth of 25 kHz, and a finesse of 27 500 has been built and when it was substituted in place of the commercial interferometer produced a robust and easily repeatable beatnote linewidth of 700 mHz.

Active frequency stabilization of a 1.062-microm, Nd:GGG, diode-laser-pumped nonplanar ring oscillator to less than 3 Hz of relative linewidth.
We present results on the frequency stabilization of two diode-laser-pumped ring lasers that are independently locked to the same high-finesse interferometer. We measure the relative frequency stability by locking the lasers one free spectral range apart and observing the heterodyne beat note. The resultant beat note width of 2.9 Hz is consistent with the theoretical system noise-limited linewi...

We have locked two 1064-nm diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers to two ultralow-expansion glass-ceramic Fabry-Perot interferometers by using the Pound-Drever discriminator technique. The interferometers have finesses of approximately 200,000 and 5-kHz linewidths and are housed in separate temperature-stabilized vacuum vessels. Allan variance measurements of the beat note between the two lasers are ...

In this paper we present our recent works on optical injection of Fabry-Perot laser diode for application in access networks. The injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode is used as low-cost colorless transmitters for high-speed optical access exploiting wavelength-division-multiplexing technology. The modification of main characteristics of Fabry-Perot laser such as spectral properties, noise ...

An optical configuration employing two conventional Michelson interferometers and a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer connected in parallel is used to demonstrate the principle of common mode rejection of both the amplitude and frequency noise of a semiconductor laser. Common mode noise rejection is maximized when the outputs of the two interferometers with matched path imbalance, fringe visibil...
متن کاملFrequency Stabilization Using Matched Fabry-Perots as References
We propose a matched Fabry-Perot configuration for frequency stabilization where each user locks its laser to a local Fabry-Perot interferometer which is perfectly matched to a master Fabry-Perot. Experimentally, a user Fabry-Perot was matched and locked to a remote master Fabry-Perot.
