Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser frequency stabilization, and particularly relates to a laser frequency stabilization system based on an improved double-path digital phase-locked amplifier. Laser frequency stabilization is achieved using an improved two-way digital lock-in amplifier.
Background
The laser has the characteristics of good monochromaticity and strong coherence, and has wide application in the fields of precision metering, gravitational wave detection, information science and the like. However, the frequency stability of the conventional free-running laser is poor, and after a passive frequency stabilization (temperature control, constant current source drive and the like) design is adopted, the frequency drift still cannot meet the requirement of modern precision measurement on the laser frequency stability, so that certain measures must be taken to actively improve the laser frequency stability in order to improve the long-term precision of the laser frequency.
The existing laser frequency stabilization methods are various, and some of the existing laser frequency stabilization methods need to generate an error signal by means of modulating the laser frequency (with an internal modulation or an external modulation), and then achieve the purpose of laser frequency stabilization by using a method of extracting the error signal from noise by using a phase-locked amplifier. However, in the current method for extracting the error signal, a single-path lock-in amplifier is generally used to extract the error signal, and the phase is adjusted while the magnitude of the error signal is observed until the peak value of the error signal is observed to be the maximum by naked eyes, so as to determine the phase optimum point. The manual phase adjustment has certain subjectivity and no real-time property, and the problem of amplitude jitter of an error signal caused by phase jitter in the frequency stabilization process cannot be solved. In addition, although the traditional dual-output digital correlation demodulator can acquire the amplitude and the phase of a signal, the output amplitude is always a positive value and has no directivity, and the traditional dual-output digital correlation demodulator cannot be directly used for laser frequency stabilization.

The pump light and the detection light with the same light intensity irradiate the balance photoelectric detector 3, at the moment, the frequency sweeping button of the laser 1 is turned on, and meanwhile, the driving current is slowly adjusted until 6 spectral peaks can be clearly seen on the oscilloscope.
The cesium atomic absorption power can be expressed as follows: pT(w)＝P0exp[-α(w)x]
Wherein, P0Is the incident light intensity, alpha (w) is the absorption coefficient, w is the laser frequency, and x is the length of the cesium atomic region through which the laser passes.
When the absorption is very small (. alpha. (w) x)<<1) P is obtained by Taylor's formulaT(w) an approximate formula PT(w)≈P0[1-α(w)x]. Further processing to obtain cesium atom absorption power DeltaP (w) ═ P0-PT(w)＝P0α(w)x。
The modulated absorption power Δ P to which Δ w (t) is added to the output frequency of the laser 1 at this time is represented as follows:
△P(w+△w(t))＝P0α(w+△w(t))x
and because the modulation amplitude Δ w (t) is small, much smaller than the laser frequency w, the above expression can be further developed by taylor's formula,
the expansion is as follows:
let Δ w (t) asin (wt), the expression of Δ P (w + Δw (t)) of the absorbed power at this time is as follows:
since the absorption coefficient α (w) of the cesium atom is of the lorentz type and has even symmetry, the odd-order differential has the characteristics of the same magnitude and the opposite direction on both sides of the transition point, and this characteristic can be used to stabilize the output frequency of the laser 1.

And the error signal output by the improved double-path phase-locked amplifier is sent to a digital PID circuit to obtain the feedback control quantity.
The feedback control quantity and the modulation quantity are added by a digital adder 8 in the FPGA, and then the voltage quantity is output to an input port of the adding circuit 11 by a DAC10, the laser frequency initial point voltage is converted into a voltage quantity by another DAC10 chip and is output to the other input port of the adding circuit 11, and the output of the adding circuit 11 is the voltage quantity for frequency stabilization.
