    Area of Science:

    • Laser Physics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Quantum Optics

    Background:

    • Precise laser frequency control is crucial for various scientific applications.
    • Existing laser sweeping techniques often involve complex setups, high power loss, or limitations in sweep range and reliability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a novel, robust, and wide-range laser frequency sweeping technique.
    • To overcome the limitations of current laser sweeping methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A slave laser's modulation sideband is phase-locked to a master laser using an electro-optic modulator.
    • The slave laser's carrier frequency is swept by adjusting the modulation frequency.
    • The technique avoids beat signal detection and the need for a frequency comb.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully demonstrated a laser frequency sweep of 20 GHz for an 852 nm laser.
    • Confirmed a continuous frequency sweep of 40 GHz for a second harmonic 426 nm laser.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed technique offers a robust and reliable method for precise and wide-range laser frequency sweeping.
    • This method eliminates the need for high-frequency beat signal detection and frequency combs, reducing complexity and power loss.
