Problems solved by technology

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a new laser frequency stabilization method and its device, to solve the requirement of optical modulation frequency equal to the mode interval frequency of the resonator in the noise-immune resonator-enhanced spectroscopy technology, and the frequency should be as high as hundreds of megabytes to 1GHz. Difficult and costly problems; and in ring cavity enhanced modulation transfer spectroscopy, the locking signal between the laser and the resonant cavity and the acquisition of molecular spectral signals in the cavity all come from a modulation frequency. The frequency is faced with the contradiction between the signal / noise ratio of the molecular spectrum and the locking accuracy between the laser and the optical resonator. At the same time, the two servo control signals come from the same beam of light and the same modulation frequency. When used for frequency stabilization servo control, the two servos The control system will generate interference, which affects the performance of the frequency-stabilized laser

Embodiment 1

[0022] frequency is f 0 The laser beam is divided into two beams of light with orthogonal polarization directions by the polarization beam splitter prism, one of which passes through the dual-frequency electro-optic modulator (Δ and δ), correspondingly generating two sets of modulation sidebands, which are respectively used for the relative optical resonator Laser frequency locking and molecular modulation transfer spectroscopy signal detection. The ring cavity adopts a four-mirror ring optical resonator, and the optical phase modulation frequency Δ used to lock the cavity is twice the line width of the ring cavity, so that the sideband is located outside the line width of the cavity, increasing the dispersion signal of the cavity At the same time, the influence of the sideband on the spectral signal is also reduced. When the modulated light beam is coupled to the ring-type optical resonator, the reflected light enters the detector, and then demodulated by the double-balanced...

The process is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that the optical phase modulation frequency Δ used to lock the cavity is 5 times the line width of the ring cavity, and δ is 0.9 times the line width of the ring.

Embodiment 3

[0026] frequency is f 0 The laser beam is divided into two beams of light with orthogonal polarization directions by the polarization beam splitter prism, one of which passes through the dual-frequency electro-optic phase modulator (Δ and δ), correspondingly generating two sets of modulation sidebands, which are respectively used in the optical resonator Locking of relative laser frequency and signal detection of molecular modulation transfer spectroscopy. The process is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that the optical phase modulation frequency Δ used to lock the cavity is 3 times the linewidth of the ring cavity, and δ is 0.7 times the spectral linewidth.
