Transmission cavity frequency stabilizing system and method for realizing long-term laser frequency stabilization

Abstract

The invention discloses a transmission cavity frequency stabilizing system and method for realizing long-term laser frequency stabilization and belongs to the field of precise laser frequency stabilization. The frequency stabilizing system mainly comprises a plurality of Ti-doped sapphire lasers, reference cavities, control boxes, a reference laser (helium-noon laser) with stable frequency, a polarization beam splitter, a Fabry-Perot transmission cavity, a photoelectric detector, a function signal generator, an adder, a data acquisition card, a computer and the like. The frequency stabilizing method comprises steps as follows: firstly, two Ti-doped sapphire lasers are locked on the respective reference cavities, and then the reference cavities are locked on the reference laser with stable frequency, so that two Ti-doped sapphire lasers with laser line width smaller than 100 kHz and long-term frequency drift smaller than plus / minus 1 MHz are obtained. The system and the method have the advantages that only one reference laser is used for locking the plurality of Ti-doped sapphire lasers with frequency to be stabilized simultaneously and can lock the Ti-doped sapphire lasers at any frequency within the tunable range, and the extensibility and the frequency stability are very high.
