Optical phase-locking of two extended-cavity diode lasers by serrodyne modulation
Abstract:
We report the optical phase-locking of two extended-cavity diode lasers with a frequency difference of 6.9 GHz by serrodyne modulation. The bandwidth of the phase-locking loop is extended up to 9.5 MHz. The residual phase noise of the two phase-locked lasers reaches -130 dBrad2/Hz in the offset frequency range of 1.5 kHz to 9 kHz and below -120 dBrad2/Hz in the range of 150 Hz to 350 kHz, respectively. It is expected that the sensitivity limit of atom interferometers will be enhanced when the phase-locked lasers are used.
