چکیده

We describe a type of phase and frequency detector employing both an analog phase detector and a digital phase and frequency detector. The analog and digital detectors are mutually exclusive so that only one of them is active at any given time, resulting in a phase detector with both the broad capture range of digital circuits and the high speed and low noise of analog mixers. The detector has been used for phase locking the diode lasers generating the sequence of Raman pulses in an atom interferometer. The rms phase error of the phase lock is about 100 mrad in a 5 Hz–10 MHz bandwidth. The limit set on the interferometer phase resolution by the residual phase noise is 1.1 mrad. Since the digital circuitry is implemented with a programmable logic device the detector can be easily adapted to other experiments requiring frequency/phase stabilization of lasers sources. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1914785g

Low-noise, tunable diode laser for ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy.

We demonstrate the excellent spectral properties of a diode laser setup that combines good tunability with superb short-term frequency stability and controllability. It is based on merging two concepts, the diode laser with resonant optical feedback and the grating stabilized diode laser. To characterize the short-term performance we beat two essentially identical diode lasers and find a short-...

Low Settling Time All Digital DLL For VHF Application

Settling time is one of the most important parameter in design of DLLs. In this paper we propose a new high speed with low settling time Delay Locked Loop (DLL) in which a digital signal processor (DSP) is used instead of using phase-frequency detector, charge pump and loop filter in conventional DLL. To have better settling time, PRP conjugate gradient algorithm is used to optimize delay of ea...

Dual Phase Detector Based Delay Locked Loop for High Speed Applications

In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented.  One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...

A Dual-Edge Triggered Phase Detector for Fast-Lock DLL

DLL is used as a clock generator due to its stable operation and relatively simple design. Analog DLL has the advantages of lower phase offset and lower clock jitter than digital DLL. However, locking speed is slow in analog DLL. This paper proposes a dual edge triggered phase detector to enhance the locking speed of analog DLL and suggests a closed-form expression of locking speed which can co...

Phase-locking of two self-seeded tapered amplifier lasers.

We report on the phase-locking of two diode lasers based on self-seeded tapered amplifiers. In these lasers, a reduction of linewidth is achieved using narrow-band high-transmission interference filters for frequency selection. The lasers combine a compact design with a Lorentzian linewidth below 200 kHz at an output power of 300 mW for a wavelength of 780 nm. We characterize the phase noise of...
