Frequency Stabilization Using Matched Fabry-Perots as References
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

A 94 GHz EPR Spectrometer with Fabry-Perot Resonator
An EPR spectrometer is described working in the 94 GHz (W-band) frequency range. It comprises a Fabry-Perot type microwave resonator connected to a conventional microwave bridge, a phase lock loop for microwave frequency stabilization, and a superconducting magnet. The improved separation of W-band spectra from two sites with only slightly different ^-factors is demonstrated using an a-bromo ra...
متن کاملFrequency tracking and stabilization of a tunable dual-wavelength external-cavity diode laser
We show a unique dual-wavelength external-cavity laser diode with frequency tracking capability and obtain a stable beat frequency between the dual-wavelength output. By using a Fabry–Perot interferometer as the frequency discriminator and the time-gating technique in a servo loop, the peak-to-peak frequency fluctuations were stabilized, with respect to the Fabry–Perot cavity, to 86 kHz in the ...
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 کاملContribution of Thermal Noise to Frequency Stability of Rigid Optical Cavity via Hertz-Linewidth Lasers
We perform detailed studies of state-of-the-art laser stabilization to high finesse optical cavities, revealing fundamental mechanical thermal noise-related length fluctuations. We compare the frequency noise of lasers tightly locked to the resonances of a variety of rigid Fabry-Perot cavities of differing lengths and mirror substrate materials. The results are in agreement with the theoretical...
متن کاملCavity stabilization using the weak intrinsic birefringence of dielectric mirrors.
We demonstrate a universal cavity stabilization scheme that exploits the intrinsic birefringence of dielectric multilayer mirrors. Homodyne locking using weak mirror birefringence of even an empty Fabry-Perot-type cavity requires neither frequency modulation nor mixing and allows us to generate an error signal that is comparable to more widely used heterodyne stabilization schemes.
