[0003] Commonly used DFB laser frequency stabilization methods include Zeeman frequency stabilization, saturated absorption frequency stabilization, Faraday optical rotation frequency stabilization, etc. The common feature of these frequency stabilization systems is to design a PID control loop to build a servo control system. The traditional frequency stabilization PID servo control The frequency converter usually adopts the setting of empirical P and I parameter values ​​or manual adjustment of PI parameters for a long time to realize the frequency locking link, but this process is slow and the accuracy is low, so that the frequency cannot be locked quickly; and in the above several frequency stabilization methods, although The frequency stabilization accuracy of the saturated absorption method is high, but in the frequency stabilization expe...
