Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring the intracavity loss of a locked optical cavity, and belongs to the technical field of optical detection. Background Art
[0002] Optical cavity technology is widely used in laser technology, quantum optical communication and processing, cavity optomechanics, and quantum precision measurement. The measurement technology of optical cavity loss helps to evaluate and improve optical cavity technology, improve the photon energy information transmission efficiency and lifetime, improve the performance of lasers, and the precision of quantum precision measurement communication, etc. The intracavity loss of an optical cavity can be roughly divided into geometric loss, diffraction loss, diaphragm loss, and other losses. In a complete optical resonator, there are many factors causing intracavity loss, but when measuring the loss of the entire optical resonator, the focus is on the loss of the entire resonator. The intracavity loss in an optical cavity is one of the important evaluation parameters for evaluating the performance of an optical cavity. In a high-reflectivity optical cavity, Gaussian light circulates and oscillates in the cavity, and will interact with the air, mirror, and nonlinear crystal in the cavity multiple times during the propagation process, and a certain amount of energy will be lost each time, resulting in loss. The four-mirror ring optical cavity is mainly applied in the field of quantum optics, such as the generation of optical squeezed states, the preparation of high-energy long-lifetime single photons, and the mode selection and shaping of beam quality. Usually, it is difficult for the conventional intracavity loss measurement technology of an optical cavity to achieve in-situ measurement of the actual intracavity loss under the condition of cavity length locking of the optical cavity, that is, under the normal working state of the optical cavity. To describe the formation process of the intracavity loss of the four-mirror ring optical cavity, we need to establish an ideal four-mirror ring optical cavity model and parameterize the propagation process therein. The four-mirror ring optical cavity in this study can be regarded as an optical reflector with high reflectivity and low absorption. After the circulating light in the cavity stabilizes, its optical and electric field distribution is stable, and the stable intracavity loss is formed after the intracavity absorption, scattering, and nonlinear effects stabilize.
[0003] Since the four-mirror ring optical cavity is in a cavity length locking state when it is working normally, this method can still measure the incident optical power and reflected optical power of the incident light at the incident mirror of the four-mirror ring optical cavity with high precision under the locked cavity state, and then realize the measurement of the intracavity loss. Therefore, this method can achieve accurate in-situ measurement of the intracavity loss under the condition of cavity length locking of the four-mirror ring optical cavity. And compared with other measurement methods, this measurement method can measure the actual intracavity loss when the optical cavity is actually working, and because the measurement is carried out at the same input mirror, the error sources of this method are less.
[0004] For example, in the generation and research of optical squeezed states through optical parametric conversion, the nonlinear effect of a nonlinear crystal in an optical cavity is utilized to generate squeezed light. The problem of intracavity loss in the optical cavity is very important for the generation of squeezed light. Thus, it can be seen that in-situ measurement of intracavity loss in the optical cavity is of great significance. However, the usual techniques for measuring intracavity loss in an optical cavity are difficult to achieve in-situ measurement of the actual intracavity loss under the condition of locking the cavity length of the optical cavity, that is, in the normal operating state of the optical cavity. Therefore, the present intracavity loss measurement technique for a locked cavity optical cavity is of great significance in the fields such as the generation of optical squeezed states and laser technology.

[0025] Step 4 includes: taking the ratio of the peak value U of the voltage value displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope 1 and the valley value U of the voltage value 2 as the independent variable, and the intracavity loss ε of the four-mirror ring optical cavity 2 as the dependent variable for square root fitting.
[0026] In Step 2, finely adjust the phase delay amount of the phase retarder to achieve precise control of the locked cavity length of the four-mirror ring optical cavity.
[0027] In Step 3, it is necessary to repeatedly and coordinately adjust the mode matching lens and the four cavity mirrors of the four-mirror ring optical cavity to improve its fineness, so that the ratio of the peak value U of the voltage value displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope measured in the experiment 1 and the valley value U of the voltage value 2 is the largest.
[0028] An intracavity loss measurement device for a locked cavity optical cavity, the device includes a laser, a laser intensity control module, an isolator, an electro-optic modulator, a mode matching lens, a four-mirror ring optical cavity, a reflected light photodetector, a reflected light oscilloscope, a transmitted light photodetector, a transmitted light oscilloscope, a phase retarder, and a piezoelectric ceramic controller; the laser, the laser intensity control module, the isolator, the electro-optic modulator, and the mode matching lens form a pump light generation module; the standard parameter pump laser enters the four-mirror ring optical cavity and resonates and enhances in the four-mirror ring optical cavity; the transmitted light photodetector, the transmitted light oscilloscope, the phase retarder, and the piezoelectric ceramic controller form a cavity length locking module; the resonantly enhanced laser in the four-mirror ring optical cavity is transmitted from the incident cavity mirror and converges with the reflected light of the incident laser into the reflected light photodetector, and the in-situ measurement of the intracavity loss of the four-mirror ring optical cavity is realized by using the reading information of the reflected light oscilloscope; the standard parameter pump laser enters the transmitted light photodetector after passing through the four-mirror ring optical cavity, the transmitted light photodetector is connected to the transmitted light oscilloscope, the phase retarder performs phase delay through the indication of the transmitted light oscilloscope, and then inputs to the piezoelectric ceramic controller to realize the cavity length locking of the four-mirror ring optical cavity; the control signal of the piezoelectric ceramic controller is provided by the phase retarder, and the precise value of the intracavity loss of the four-mirror ring optical cavity can be quickly calculated through the ratio of the reflected light power to the incident light power displayed by the oscilloscope.
[0029] The intracavity loss measurement of the four-mirror ring optical cavity is in a locked cavity state.
[0030] The reflected photoelectric field is obtained by solving the distribution of the photoelectric field at various places in the four-mirror ring optical cavity: , where E 0 is the photoelectric field input to the optical cavity, and E r is the superposition of the reflected photoelectric field at the input mirror M 1 and the transmitted photoelectric field of the circulating light in the optical cavity at the mirror M 1 . r 1 ~r 4 are the respective reflectivities of the mirrors M 1 ~M 4 , ε 2 is the linear loss in the optical cavity, Γ·P 2 is the nonlinear loss in the optical cavity, Γ is the nonlinear coefficient, P is the circulating light power in the cavity, Φ is the phase of the light propagation in the optical cavity. For a closed cavity, the phase factor e iΦ of the light propagation in the optical cavity is 1, that is, there is no phase difference in the cavity.
[0031] It can be seen from Equation (1) that the input light power P 1 of the plane mirror input in the experimental measurement and the reflected light power P i have the following relationship: r , By taking the modulus of the right side of the equation and solving, the linear loss and nonlinear loss equations in the cavity and the ratio P r of the reflected light power P i to the input light power P r / P i can be obtained. Furthermore, the linear loss ε r / P i in the cavity can be obtained by measuring P 2 and the nonlinear loss Γ·P 2 . Moreover, before installing the nonlinear crystal in the cavity, the linear loss ε 2 in the cavity can be obtained by this method. After installing the nonlinear crystal, the nonlinear loss Γ·P 2 can be obtained by this method again. This method for measuring the loss of the optical cavity does not restrict the working state of the optical cavity, and the loss in the cavity can be measured under both the cavity length scanning and cavity length locking conditions. In particular, this method can measure the loss in the cavity without destroying the working conditions when the cavity length is locked, that is, when the optical cavity is working normally. It belongs to an in-situ measurement method in the normal working state of the optical cavity. The application of this method has many application scenarios, which can improve the efficiency of optical cavity adjustment and testing and is of great significance for the research on improving the performance of squeezed light.
[0032] During the experiment, the peak voltage value U 1 and the valley voltage value U 2 measured by us are respectively proportional to the reflected light power P r at the incident cavity mirror M1 and the input light power P i , that is, U 1 ∝P r and U 2 ∝P i , so there is U 1 / U 2 =P r / P i . Therefore, the in-situ measurement of the linear loss ε 1 and the nonlinear loss Γ·P 2 inside the four-mirror ring optical cavity can be carried out through the peak voltage value U 2 and the valley voltage value U 2 displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope.
[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the in-cavity loss measurement device of the locked cavity optical cavity of the present invention includes four parts: a pump light generation module, an in-cavity loss measurement module, an optical cavity module, and a cavity length locking module. The pump light generation module is composed of a laser 1, a laser light intensity control module 2, an isolator 3, an electro-optic modulator 4, and a mode matching lens 5, and generates a standard parameter pump light as the pump light source of the four-mirror ring optical cavity. The in-cavity loss measurement module is composed of a reflected light oscilloscope 6 and a reflected light photodetector 7 to collect the optical cavity reflected light signal. The optical cavity module includes a four-mirror ring optical cavity 8 to enhance the resonance of the generated quasi-parameter pump light in the cavity. Its main structure includes four cavity mirrors and a nonlinear crystal PPKTP. The cavity length locking module includes a transmitted light photodetector 9, a transmitted light oscilloscope 10, a phase retarder 11, and a piezoelectric ceramic controller 12 to lock and control the cavity length of the four-mirror ring optical cavity.
[0034] The laser 1, the laser light intensity control module 2, the isolator 3, the electro-optic modulator 4, and the mode matching lens 5 generate a standard parameter pump laser; the standard parameter pump laser enters the four-mirror ring optical cavity 8 and is enhanced in resonance in the four-mirror ring optical cavity 8; a part of the light is transmitted from the four-mirror ring optical cavity 8 and enters the transmitted light photodetector 9, and the lock cavity signal is input through the transmitted light oscilloscope 10, and the signal is input to the piezoelectric ceramic controller 12 after the phase retarder 11 performs phase delay to lock the cavity length of the four-mirror ring optical cavity 8; the laser enhanced in resonance in the four-mirror ring optical cavity is transmitted from the incident cavity mirror and converges with the reflected light of the incident laser to enter the reflected light photodetector 7, and the rapid and accurate calculation of the in-cavity loss of the four-mirror ring optical cavity is realized by using the reading information of the reflected light oscilloscope 6.

Install a laser, a laser intensity control module, an isolator, an electro-optic modulator, a mode matching lens, a four-mirror ring optical cavity, a reflected light photodetector, a reflected light oscilloscope, a transmitted light photodetector, a transmitted light oscilloscope, a phase retarder, and a piezoelectric ceramic controller; turn on the laser, the laser intensity control module, the isolator, and the electro-optic modulator, and calibrate the standard parameter pump laser power; b. Let the standard parameter pump laser enter the four-mirror ring optical cavity to enhance the resonance of the standard parameter pump laser in the four-mirror ring optical cavity, and transmit it out from the output mirror of the four-mirror ring optical cavity. Let the transmitted light enter the transmitted light photodetector, and adjust the phase retarder and the piezoelectric ceramic controller by the parameters of the transmitted light oscilloscope to make the four-mirror ring optical cavity in the cavity length locking state; c. Let the reflected light at the incident mirror of the four-mirror ring optical cavity enter the reflected light photodetector, and adjust to improve the cavity finesse, so that the peak value U 1 of the voltage value displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope and the valley value U 2 of the voltage value have the largest ratio, and record the peak value U 1 of the voltage value and the valley value U 2 of the voltage value displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope; d. Calculate the peak value U 1 of the voltage value and the valley value U 2 displayed by the reflected light oscilloscope, and then obtain the intracavity loss value of the four-mirror ring optical cavity through fitting and solving.
[0036] Thus, the measurement of the intracavity loss of the locked optical cavity is realized.
[0037] Based on the functional relationship between the incident and reflected optical fields at the input mirror of the optical cavity and the linear and nonlinear losses in the cavity, the present invention realizes the measurement of the intracavity loss of the locked optical cavity under the condition of cavity length locking. A four-mirror ring optical cavity cavity length locking scheme is proposed to reduce the instability of cavity length locking. An intracavity loss calculation method is proposed to reduce the error of intracavity loss measurement and improve the measurement accuracy. The applied fitting method eliminates other error factors in the experimental process.
