This invention belongs to the field of
laser technology and discloses a high-response-bandwidth
grating external cavity control device and a frequency-stabilized
laser system. The
grating external cavity control device includes a
grating holder, a
magnetostrictive actuator, and a
driving current source. The grating holder is used to set the grating, and the
magnetostrictive actuator is used to drive the grating holder to rotate, thereby changing the grating angle and
external cavity length of the
laser grating. The
magnetostrictive actuator includes a magnetostrictive rod, a fixed base, a permanent
magnet, and a solenoid. One end of the magnetostrictive rod is fixed to the fixed base, and the other end serves as the free end of the magnetostrictive
actuator. The solenoid is sleeved around the outer circumference of the magnetostrictive rod and is used to provide an axial
magnetic field to the magnetostrictive rod under the drive of the
current source. The permanent
magnet is used to provide a bias
magnetic field to the magnetostrictive rod. The frequency-stabilized laser
system involves the specific structures of three feedback loops of two types: grating and current, and frequency-stabilized closed-loop loops for single-
actuator and dual-
actuator grating external cavity control devices, respectively. This invention improves the response bandwidth of the laser, which can greatly improve the linewidth and
noise characteristics of the laser, and enhance its environmental adaptability and long-term stability.
