Molecular Iodine Spectra and Laser Stabilization by Frequency-Doubled 1534 nm Diode Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 dense rovibronic spectrum of I2. Our scheme shows one possible means of generating a frequency grid in the entire wavelength region of optical communications. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.44.3055]

Absolute 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 کاملFrequency Stabilization of a Diode Laser at 1540 nm by Locking to Sub-Doppler Lines of Potassium at 770 nm.
An external cavity 1540-nm diode laser was frequency doubled in a 3-cm-long periodically poled LiNbO(3) waveguide doubler with 150% W(-1) conversion efficiency, thereby generating more than 3 muW at 770 nm. Second-harmonic light was used to detect and lock to sub-Doppler lines of the (39)K D(1) transition.
