[0002] Narrow linewidth lasers have good coherence performance and are widely used in lidar, optical instruments, and various fiber optic sensing technology fields. Existing commercial narrow linewidth lasers, such as narrow linewidth fiber lasers and narrow linewidth semiconductor lasers, can only control the laser frequency stability at the order of 10MHz@100s due to the influence of factors such as thermodynamic noise and environmental vibration noise in the resonant cavity. Laser frequency stabilization technology is required to suppress the frequency jitter and drift of the laser. Common laser frequency stabilization technology is based on phase-modulated optical heterodyne (PDH) technology, but the use of technical means such as gas molecule saturated absorption and ultra-stable cavity is not conducive to compact structure design, and the construction and use costs are high, making it difficult to promote and apply. However, in some precision measurement fields, the frequency stability requirements for narrow linewidth lasers are extremely high. Therefore, it is necessary to design a low-cost, high-frequency-stability frequency-stabilized laser to meet the needs of precision measurement fields. Summary of the Invention

[0034] In order to make the objects and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a frequency-stabilized laser based on a dual-fiber interferometer, comprising a narrow-linewidth laser, an acousto-optic frequency shifter, a 1×2 fiber splitter I, a dual-fiber interferometer, a voltage-controlled oscillator, and a control module. The temperature delay coefficient (unit: ps / (km·℃)) of the measuring fiber Ⅰ on the measuring arm of the fiber interferometer Ⅰ is different from that of the measuring fiber Ⅱ on the measuring arm of the fiber interferometer Ⅱ. The narrow-linewidth laser emits a laser signal and connects to the acousto-optic frequency shifter. The signal adjusted by the acousto-optic frequency shifter is connected to the 1×2 fiber splitter I. One output end of the 1×2 fiber splitter I serves as the signal output of the frequency-stabilized laser, and the other output end is connected to the dual-fiber interferometer. In the dual-fiber interferometer, the laser signal to be detected output by the 1×2 fiber splitter I is connected to the 1 ×2 fiber splitter II, the two laser signals to be detected output by 1×2 fiber splitter II enter interferometer I and interferometer II, and the two interference signals output by interferometer I and interferometer II are connected to the input ends of the two photoelectric detection groups PD1 and PD2 and PD3 and PD4 of the control module respectively for fiber phase drift detection. The photoelectric detection input end of the control module is connected to the optical fiber output end of the dual-fiber interferometer detection. The first output end of the control module is connected to the voltage-controlled oscillator, and the second and third output ends of the control module are both connected to the narrow linewidth laser; Figure 3 As shown, the control module includes a demodulation operation part and a control part. The demodulation operation part uses the phase drift detection results of two fiber interferometers to calculate the laser frequency drift amount caused by the narrow linewidth laser frequency drift; the laser frequency drift amount caused by the narrow linewidth laser frequency drift is used by the control part in the control module to feedback and compensate for the laser frequency drift.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the narrow-linewidth laser is a single-frequency fiber laser, and the fiber output end of the narrow-linewidth laser provides a narrow-linewidth laser seed source for the frequency-stabilized laser, which is connected to an acousto-optic frequency shifter. The driver frequency of the acousto-optic frequency shifter is adjusted by a voltage-controlled oscillator, thereby finely adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser. The adjustment voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator is adjusted by connecting to the first output end of the control module; the first electronic input end of the narrow-linewidth laser is connected to the second output end of the control module to adjust the PZT voltage, thereby adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser in a larger range; the second electronic input end of the narrow-linewidth laser is connected to the third output end of the control module to adjust the TEC temperature, thereby adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser in a larger range. In this embodiment, the demodulation operation part of the control module uses the dual-fiber interferometer output interference signal to demodulate the narrow linewidth laser frequency drift, and then converts it into a control signal to the control part; the control part performs compensation control on the narrow linewidth laser according to the control signal obtained from the demodulation operation module. When the frequency offset of the AOM reaches the adjustment step of the PZT, the PZT adjusts the laser frequency offset in the same direction, thereby releasing the range of the AOM; when the frequency offset of the PZT reaches the adjustment step of the TEC, the TEC adjusts the laser frequency offset in the same direction, thereby releasing the range of the PZT.
[0037] As another preferred embodiment, the narrow-linewidth laser is a single-frequency semiconductor laser; the optical fiber output end of the narrow-linewidth laser provides a narrow-linewidth laser seed source for the frequency-stabilized laser, which is connected to an acousto-optic frequency shifter, and the driver frequency of the acousto-optic frequency shifter is adjusted by a voltage-controlled oscillator, thereby finely adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser, and the adjustment voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator is adjusted by connecting to the first output end of the control module; the first electronic input end of the narrow-linewidth laser is connected to the second output end of the control module to finely adjust the narrow-linewidth laser current, thereby adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser over a larger range; the second electronic input end of the narrow-linewidth laser is connected to the third output end of the control module to adjust the TEC temperature, thereby adjusting the output signal frequency of the narrow-linewidth laser over a larger range.

[0041] The optical fiber input end of the acousto-optic frequency shifter is connected to the output light source of the narrow linewidth laser. The frequency adjustment input end of the acousto-optic frequency shifter is the voltage input end of the voltage-controlled oscillator. The frequency electrical signal generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator is amplified by radio frequency to drive the acousto-optic frequency shifter to shift the frequency, thereby finely compensating for the frequency drift of the narrow linewidth laser. The output end of the acousto-optic frequency shifter is connected to the input end of the 1×2 optical fiber splitter I.
[0042] The input end of the 1×2 optical fiber splitter I is connected to the output end of the acousto-optic frequency shifter, one of the output ends of the 1×2 optical fiber splitter I outputs a frequency-stabilized laser signal, and the other output end of the 1×2 optical fiber splitter I is connected to the input end of the dual-fiber interferometer.

The left side of the 3×3 fiber coupler includes at least three ports, one of which forms the input of the fiber interferometer, and the other two ports, connected to photodetectors, form the two outputs of the fiber interferometer. The right side of the 3×3 fiber coupler includes at least two ports, one of which is connected to one Faraday magnetic rotator mirror via a measurement fiber, and the other port is directly connected to the other Faraday magnetic rotator mirror. The measurement fibers of the two fiber interferometers have different temperature delay coefficients.
