Elimination of pump-induced frequency jitter on fiber-laser frequency combs

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical frequency combs generated by femtosecond fiber lasers typically exhibit significant frequency noise that causes broad optical linewidths, particularly in the comb wings and in the carrier-envelope offset frequency (fceo) signal. We show these broad linewidths are mainly a result of white amplitude noise on the pump diode laser that leads to a breathing-like motion of the comb about a central fixed frequency. By a combination of passive noise reduction and active feedback using phase-lead compensation, this noise source is eliminated, thereby reducing the fceo linewidth from 250kHz to <1Hz. The in-loop carrier-envelope offset phase jitter, integrated to 100kHz, is 1.3rad.
