Abstract

The invention discloses a method for achieving laser frequency-offset-lock through an F-P interferometer. According to the method, a main laser locked through a traditional absolute frequency stabilizing method is used as a reference, the peak time difference between emergent signals of lasers of the main laser and lasers of an auxiliary laser for jointly transmitting an F-P cavity is used as frequency error signals, and then frequency-offset-lock of the main laser and the auxiliary laser is achieved. The large-range frequency-offset-lock can be achieved without a radio frequency device, and the F-P interferometer has the advantages of being simple in structure, high in stability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a laser frequency locking technology, in particular to a method of using a scanning confocal cavity F-P interferometer to realize the offset frequency locking between two or more lasers, which is mainly used in systems that need to accurately control the wavelength of multiple lasers , such as differential absorption lidar systems. Background technique [0002] Differential absorption lidar systems often require multiple frequency-stabilized laser sources. Some laser wavelengths are within the molecular or atomic absorption line, and others are outside the atomic absorption line. We can lock the laser within the absorption line through existing mature methods such as PDH (Pound-Drever-Hall), but it is more difficult to lock the laser outside the absorption line. The conventional method uses laser frequency shifting equipment such as acousto-optic or electro-optic to lock the frequency into the absorption spectrum line....
