摘要
采用级联非平衡马赫-曾德光纤干涉仪来降低激光额外噪声,并实验证明了其可行性及激光噪声抑制效果.当光纤干涉仪两臂长度差为127m时,通过自制的自动相位锁定装置,可以长时间稳定地将干涉仪两臂的相对相位锁定在零相位,此时激光光场在800kHz及其整数倍频率处的额外噪声得到高效地抑制,降低幅度可达45dB以上.调节干涉仪的两臂差,可以改变噪声过滤的频段.基于该方法的噪声抑制装置结构紧凑、成本低,可应用于量子光力系统中散粒噪声极限光场的获得.
The suppression of laser excess noise using a cascaded imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer with fiber optic components was proposed and demonstrated in the experiment.By developing an automatic phase control system,the phase of the fiber interferometer with a large path imbalance(127m)can be stabilized in a long term,and the laser excess noise around 800 kHz and its integer multiples can be efficiently suppressed by more than 45 dB.The effective frequency bands of the noise filter can be controlled by adjusting the arm-length difference of the interferometer.The approach provides an effective solution for achieving compact and cost-effective laser noise reduction,and can be applied directly to the quantum optomechanical system where shot-noise-limited laser can be required.
