Frequency fluctuations of stabilized lasers with anisotropic feedbacks
Abstract:
A random phase method is proposed to determine the perturbation of the Allan variance of frequency stabilized lasers submitted to optical feedbacks. The role of different feedbacks is quantitatively described for both one-oscillating-eigenstate stabilized lasers and two-oscillating-eigenstate stabilized lasers. The importance of the feedback polarization is isolated in each system. In both cases, the experimental measurements of the Allan variance and of the peak-to-peak frequency variations due to a periodic modulation of the feedback phase are found to be in agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
