Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for testing laser frequency noise power spectrum density based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A laser central frequency is locked at an orthogonal point of an interference curve of the Mach Zehnder interferometer through a feedback loop, so the system works in a good linearity range, converts laser frequency noise into light intensity, and fulfillsan aim of performing direct test through an electronic frequency spectrograph; and a frequency observation point avoids 1/f noise of the test system through the frequency shift by an acousto-optic frequency shifter. The invention provides the stable testing method which is used for testing laser frequency noise power spectrum density, is applied to an electronic frequency spectrograph, provides ameans for analyzing the influence of laser frequency noise on an optical system, and has significant scientific meaning and application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of testing and measuring optical instruments, in particular to a laser frequency noise power spectral density testing system and method based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Background technique [0002] The calculation of the influence of laser frequency noise on the optical system needs to accurately obtain the PSD characteristics of laser frequency noise, and it is very necessary to establish a test system for laser frequency noise PSD characteristics. However, it is difficult to directly test the PSD curve. It is necessary to convert the frequency noise to obtain the light intensity through linear conversion, and then perform the test. [0003] Common laser frequency noise PSD test methods include sideband locking method and Ponud-Drever-Hall (PDH) frequency locking method. PDH frequency locking technology requires the use of high-precision Fabry-Perot cavity, the construction system is complicated, a...
