Sistemas ópticos integrados auto-homódino e heteródino foram montados para a medição da modulação em intensidade (IM) e freqüência (FM) e para a obtenção do fator de alargamento da largura de linha (alfa) de três lasers semicondutores de realimentação distribuída (DFB) de seção única. O sistema auto-homódino foi pela primeira vez empregado na obtenção do fator de alargamento da largura de linha. Este sistema mostrou-se mais estável, prático e as medidas apresentam melhor reprodutibilidade que no sistema heteródino, uma vez que é possível obter as características de IM, FM e o parâmetro alfa em uma única medida sem o uso de um outro laser semicondutor como oscilador local. O outro sistema utilizador foi o interferômetro de Mach-Zehnder com detenção balanceada montado com elementos discretos. É possível medir as características de modulação e ruídos dos dispositivos com este interferômetro empregado como discriminador de freqüência. Com este instrumento foi feita a caracterização dinâmica de lasers DFB de seção única, DBR de múltiplas seções e grating assisted codirectional coupler with rear sampled reflector (GCSR) lasers. Foi analisado e pela primeira vez quantificado o efeito de desintonização carrregada em lasers GCSR, pelas medidads de resposta da IM, ruído de freqüência e largura de linha. A realização da caracterização das propriedades dinâmicas de lasers GCSR de larga sintonia é de grande importância, uma vez que muito pouca informação está disponível sobre o assunto pois a estrutura do dispositivo foi desenvolvida recentemente. O lasers GCSR possui quatro seções, uma seção de ganho e três sintonia. Estes dispositivos possuem sintonia quase-contínua de 1520 a 1560nm. Características como ruído de intensidade relativo (RIN), ruído de freqüência, largura de linha, resposta a modulação de amplitude e de freqÜência foram investigadas sob diferentes condições de funcionamento. O comportamento da largura de linha, freeqüência de ressonância, largura de faixa de modulação e varredura em freqüência foi analisado em dez comprimentos de onda espaçados de 4nm dentro da faixa de sintonia. A resposta IM tem características quase constantes sobre a faixa de sintonia e a resposta FM é comparável ou melhor que em lasers com refletor de Bragg distribuído (DBR). O fator de alargamento da largura de linha (alfa) foi obtido de forma inédita pelo uso do interferômetro de Mach-Zehnder com detecção balanceada pela medida das respostas AM e FM, alfa tem seu valor máximo no lado dos comprimentos de onda mais longos e decresce na direção dos comprimentos de onda mais curtos. Foi observado uma melhora em algumas prorpiedades do laser como: redução do ruído de freqüência, largura de linha e aumento da largura de faixa de modulação com a sintonia da seção de fase. Isto é característico da ocorrência do efeito de desintonização carregada (detuned loading effect), o qual geralmente ocorre em lasers DBR. Este efito explica o comportamento observado da largura de linha, largura de faixa de modulação e parâmetro alfa na faixa de sintonia.

This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of ultrashort laser pulses went through a rapid development from the first publication of a feasible concept in 1999 to being a mature tool for frequency metrology and attosecond science now. Using this technique, stabilization of the timing between the carrier wave and the envelope of a laser pulse with residual jitters of only 100 attoseconds has become possible. Naturally, the questions arises whether and how this can be further improved. The current work is devoted to determining the physical mechanisms which generate jitter in carrier-envelope phase stabilization. Furthermore, it is investigated whether there is a fundamental limitation to the achievable accuracy. To this end, two methods for removal of technical noise contributions are initially discussed. Different interferometer topologies are investigated and spurious interferometer noise is reduced by more than 40% using a commonpath layout. A novel two-detector based carrier-envelope phase retrieval technique for amplified laser pulses is demonstrated enabling the circumvention of the shot-noise constraint of the conventional extraction method to the maximum extent possible. Next, a novel feed-forward stabilization concept is developed that enables carrier-envelope phase stabilizations with only 20 attosecond residual timing jitter between carrier and envelope of the laser pulse. This feed-forward method is unconditionally stable against drop-out and permits the generation of a train of pulses with identical electric field structure with no additional measures. As the feed-forward concept widely avoids the technical noise sources of the conventional feedback stabilization, the resulting noise spectra exhibit only two unavoidable residual noise mechanisms: a highfrequency white noise floor stemming from shot noise in the carrier-envelope phase detection and a drift-like contribution with 1/f noise characteristics. Finally, the drift-like residual noise mechanism is found to induce phase noise below the level expected for the conversion of pump laser shot noise into carrier-envelope phase jitter. A feedback based squeezing, a photon-number squeezing process and a quantum non-demolition like conversion are discussed as possible explanations for this striking finding. It is shown that either the feedback squeezing or the quantum non-demolition process is the probable origin for the observed sub-shot-noise signatures of the carrier-envelope phase jitter.

Download or read book Low Noise Frequency Comb Sources Based on Synchronously Pumped Doubly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillators written by Chenchen Wan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical frequency combs are coherent light sources consist of thousands of equally spaced frequency lines. Frequency combs have achieved success in applications of metrology, spectroscopy and precise pulse manipulation and control. The most common way to generate frequency combs is based on mode-locked lasers which has the output spectrum of comb structures. To generate stable frequency combs, the output from mode-locked lasers need to be phase stabilized. The whole comb lines will be stabilized if the pulse train repetition rate corresponding to comb spacing and the pulse carrier envelope offset (CEO) frequency are both stabilized. The output from a laser always has fluctuations in parameters known as noise. In laser applications, noise is an important factor to limit the performance and often need to be well controlled. For example in precision measurement such as frequency metrology and precise spectroscopy, low laser intensity and phase noise is required. In mode-locked lasers there are different types of noise like intensity noise, pulse temporal position noise also known as timing jitter, optical phase noise. In term for frequency combs, these noise dynamics is more complex and often related. Understanding the noise behavior is not only of great interest in practical applications but also help understand fundamental laser physics. In this dissertation, the noise of frequency combs and mode-locked lasers will be studied in two projects. First, the CEO frequency phase noise of a synchronously pumped doubly resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPO) will be explored. This is very important for applications of the OPO as a coherent frequency comb source. Another project will focus on the intensity noise coupling in a soliton fiber oscillator, the finding of different noise coupling in soliton pulses and the dispersive waves generated from soliton perturbation can provide very practical guidance for low noise soliton laser design. OPOs are used to generate coherent laser-like radiations at which frequency the common gain material is not available. It is also a good candidate for extend frequency comb spectral range, for comb generation, the OPO is usually pumped by a comb source thus the OPO cavity needs to be synchronized to the pump pulses. Depending on whether the signal or idle light is in resonance, the OPO could be singly or doubly resonant. The doubly resonant OPO (DOPO) has much lower lasing threshold since both signal and idle are in resonance, but it also requires more cavity stability and was historically considered unstable for operation. However, recent research has proved that the synchronously pumped doubly resonant OPO could operate even without active cavity stabilization. Moreover, when the OPO is in degenerate state where the signal and idler are identical the OPO will remain frequency stabilized because it's acting as a frequency divide-by-2 system. This makes the DOPO an excellent candidate for extending the frequency comb spectral range to mid-IR by pumping with a frequency comb at near IR wavelength.In the dissertation, first a 1 um Yb-doped fiber oscillator will be frequency stabilized to generate a frequency comb. The repetition rate is locked indirectly by locking the Yb laser to a stabilization single frequency laser and the CEO frequency is locked by f-2f self-reference. The fully locked 1 um comb is then used to pump a DOPO. The DOPO can operate at either degenerate or non-degenerate states by tuning its cavity length. To characterize the OPO, its output spectral, output power will be measured. More importantly the CEO frequency of the OPO will also need to be simultaneously measured in order to verify and study the self stabilization of DOPO at degeneracy. To quantify the coherence property of the DOPO, the CEO frequency noise transfer function will also be measured, the pump comb is frequency modulated with an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) and the transfer function could be measured by measuring the DOPO CEO frequency phase noise. The DOPO would be a self-locked comb source if it fully inherits the pump comb coherence. This enables measuring the CEO frequency phase noise of the unlocked DOPO comb to be compared with the pump phase noise quantitatively. In the second part of the dissertation, the intensity noise of a soliton mode-locked laser is studied. The soliton is a pulse with perfect balance of dispersion and nonlinearity so it can propagate without any change of its spectral and temporal shape. In this project, an all-fiber Er soliton laser will be build. Due to the perturbation of cavity elements such as segmental gain and loss, the soliton generate dispersive wave that co-propagates inside the cavity. Notably the dispersive wave with the same phase shift of the soliton can interfere with the soliton and produce spectral peaks known as Kelly sidebands. In this work, the spectrally resolved intensity noise coupling in the soliton laser is studied. The results reveal that most of the intensity noise from the pump is couple to the Kelly sidebands while the soliton is much quieter in terms of intensity noise. In the last part of the dissertation, the 3D wave packets generation and measurement system are introduced. A SLM-based pulse shaper and beam shaper are used to generate special 3D optical wave packets from a mode-locked fiber laser. The programmable SLM enables generation of varies beam and pulse shapes. In particular, the so called wave bullets are generated with combination of diffraction free Bessel beams and dispersion free Airy pulses. To measure the 3D wave packets, a cross-correlation interferometer is demonstrated to have the capacity to reconstruct the full 3D intensity profiles of the complex wave packets.
