Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a measuring device of a laser, in particular to a device for measuring the phase noise of a laser by using the coherent effect of atoms or molecules. technical background
[0002] Phase noise is one of the important indicators of lasers. It is an important research object in the fields of basic experiments of quantum optics, quantum measurement and quantum communication. In the gain medium of the laser, the phase of the spontaneously emitted photons is random and disordered, and this process leads to the change of the output field intensity, thereby causing the relaxation oscillation of the resonator. At this frequency, the refractive index of the cavity medium changes, so the linewidth of the output light is broadened.
[0003] Some experimental results show that this phase noise is concentrated in the low frequency region (<1MHz), which is mainly caused by the fluctuation of the output laser wavelength. It is found that...
