Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the prior art, the grating feedback external cavity semiconductor laser configured by Littrow inevitably changes the length of the external cavity during the adjustment of the grating angle. It is susceptible to direction changes due to the rotation of the grating; there is no grating-feedback external cavity laser that can have two operating modes: broadband non-mode-hopping tuning, frequency stabilization and light intensity stabilization, in order to cope with the research and development stage of the atomic sensor laboratory. The need for frequency stabilization

Abstract

The invention discloses a frequency stabilization and light intensity stabilization dual-piezoelectric ceramic tuning external cavity semiconductor laser. The laser comprises a laser diode module, a collimator, a light intensity stabilizing module, a blazed grating, an output reflector, an output polarization light splitting module, a two-dimensional adjusting module, a flexible adjusting platform, piezoelectric ceramic a, piezoelectric ceramic b, a frequency stabilizing module, a bottom plate, an elastic damper and a shell. The double piezoelectric ceramics are adopted to drive the flexible adjusting platform to achieve blazed grating rotation and translation, the length of the outer cavity can be adjusted when the angle of the grating is adjusted, a fixed longitudinal mode is kept in theouter cavity, and therefore broadband mode-hopping-free tuning is achieved. When atomic absorption spectrum characteristic analysis needs to be carried out, a frequency tuning mode can be adopted, and when a stable laser beam is needed, a light intensity stabilizing mode and a frequency stabilizing mode can be adopted; the output reflector and the blazed grating are placed on the flexible adjusting platform together, and the output light beam does not deflect in the tuning process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, in particular to a frequency-stabilized and light-intensity dual piezoelectric ceramic tuned external cavity semiconductor laser. Background technique [0002] Due to their small size and narrow line width, semiconductor laser diodes are widely used in atomic sensors such as small atomic clocks, atomic magnetometers, and atomic gyroscopes. In the experimental stage of the development of the above-mentioned atomic sensor, precise experimental measurement and analysis of the atomic absorption spectrum is required; when the atomic sensor is working, it is also necessary to precisely lock the frequency and light intensity of the laser. Although existing commercial laser diodes have a very narrow linewidth, the frequency is easily affected by temperature, current, etc. and drifts, and the light intensity will also change slowly with the aging of the device and other factors. Therefore, in the research...
