Frequency stabilization of a semiconductor laser by external phase-conjugate feedback

Abstract:
We report the stabilization of a laser diode by external phase-conjugate feedback from a broad-area laser diode. The linewidth of the stabilized laser diode was reduced from 5 MHz to 25 kHz, approaching the limit set by the fluctuations of the pump beam for the phase conjugator. Clear evidence of phase conjugation was the observation of paired half-axial side modes spaced at frequencies of c/4L with respect to the main mode.

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lag Control
Phase-lag controllers are widely used in control systems to improve stability and reduce steady-state errors. A dimmer switch controlling the brightness of a light bulb serves as a practical example of phase-lag control, gradually adjusting the bulb's brightness. Mathematically, phase-lag control or low-pass filtering is represented when the factor 'a' is less than 1.

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lead Control
Phase-lead controllers are commonly used in various control systems to enhance response speed and stability. Adjusting the brightness on a television screen offers a practical example of phase-lead control. When contrast is enhanced, a phase-lead controller is employed. Mathematically, phase-lead control is identified when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
