Laser frequency locking device and method based on two-photon hyperfine energy level spectroscopy

Abstract

The invention relates to a stabilization technology of laser frequency, in particular discloses a device and a method for locking the laser frequency of a superfine energy-level spectrum based on two photons. According to the device and the method, disclosed by the invention, a technology that femtosecond pulse pumping is combined with continuous laser is adopted; since a femtosecond pulse can be approximately considered as a linewidth-free laser, the linewidth of a two-photon spectrum is greatly reduced at the moment, and a narrow-linewidth two-photon spectrum is obtained; the laser frequency is stabilized by utilizing a spectrum line of the narrow-linewidth two-photon spectrum, so that the stability of the laser frequency and the robustness of a system can be greatly increased; the method is simple, is extremely wide in applicability and can be used for stabilizing various different-frequency lasers of which the width is from 300nm to 1500 nm; by adopting the method, an ultrastable-frequency laser of which the stability degree is 10<-9> in one second, 10<-10> in 30 seconds and 10<-11> in 300 seconds is obtained; the whole device has the advantages of simple structure, simpleness and convenience in operation, easiness in regulation, small external interference, high stability and extremely high accuracy degree.
