    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Laser Technology
    • Optical Communications
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) create comb-like spectra in laser light, useful for various applications.
    • Optical frequency offset (OFO) is crucial for applications like laser offset locking and single-photon frequency shifting.
    • Existing OFO methods involve trade-offs in shift range, conversion gain, and sideband suppression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a novel OFO method for continuous-wave (CW) laser light.
    • To achieve precise frequency shifts with high sideband suppression and low conversion loss.
    • To showcase the utility of the OFO technique in advanced spectroscopic applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized serrodyne modulation with a fiber electro-optic modulator (EOM).
    • Employed radio-frequency (RF) tones from a commercial RF system on a chip (RFSoC).
    • Applied the method to continuous-wave 871 nm laser light.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved optical frequency shifts ranging from 40 to 800 MHz.
    • Demonstrated >15 dB suppression of spurious sidebands.
    • Obtained <1.5 dB conversion loss with smoothly varying conversion gain.
    • Successfully demonstrated continuous shifting of a cavity-locked laser from 50 to 1600 MHz.

    Conclusions:

    • The demonstrated OFO technique offers a versatile tool for precise optical frequency control.
    • This method overcomes limitations of previous OFO approaches by balancing shift range, gain, and sideband suppression.
    • The continuous shifting capability is particularly valuable for spectroscopy of unknown optical transitions and advancing coherent optical systems.
