The invention relates to a
carrier envelope phase shift frequency control device and method of an
optical frequency comb, the device comprises an intracavity loss modulator, an EOM
crystal and a reflector, the intracavity loss modulator is used for controlling the polarization state of an optical
signal incident from an optical
signal source, so that the EOM
crystal works at an optimal
polarization modulation working point, and the EOM
crystal is used for controlling the polarization state of the optical
signal incident from the optical
signal source; the
carrier envelope phase shift frequency of the optical signal is controlled through
polarization modulation of the EOM crystal; the reflector reflects the optical signal of which the polarization state is controlled by the intra-
cavity loss modulator and the
polarization modulation of the EOM crystal, and the reflected optical signal is recovered to the initial polarization state through the EOM crystal and the intra-
cavity loss modulator and returns to the optical
signal source. Compared with the prior art, the
carrier envelope phase shift frequency tuning range can be widened, the
modulation bandwidth can be improved, the intra-
cavity loss can be reduced, the
mode locking threshold can be reduced, self-starting
mode locking under high repetition frequency can be realized, a shorter EOM crystal can be allowed to be used to reduce
thermal interference, and the frequency locking stability of the whole
optical frequency comb system can be effectively improved.
