Laser diode frequency stabilization with a fiber ring resonator

摘要

To improve the frequency stabilization of laser diode in the laser frequency scanned interferometric metrology, a modified method is proposed by using a fiber ring resonator. The theoretical analysis of this modified method is performed. Moreover, the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique is employed to obtain the frequency discrimination curve of a fiber ring resonator, whose finesse is 1260 and line-width is 270 kHz. The simulated results show that the curve has a steep slope near the resonant frequency, which proves the sensitivity of this system to the frequency deviation, so the modified method has great potential for the frequency stabilization of a laser diode.
