The most straightforward way to generate an error signal is to send part of the laser light through the cavity and measure the transmission with a photodiode behind the cavity. Analogous to the…
TOPTICA Solution
With the PDH/DLC pro, TOPTICA offers a module for the electronic generation of a PDH signal. This includes an RF signal e.g. for driving the EOM. The PD signal recording the…
This application note discusses the purpose and principles of controllers by considering the action of a PID controller as a prototypical example on the transfer function of a feedback loop. Beyond…
Changing the temperature of the diode will change the laser frequency by a large amount, typical tuning coefficients are changes of 0.1 nm/K. However, as it typically takes quite a while for the…
The implementation of side-of-fringe locking using the cavity reflection is straightforward, but has the disadvantages described above. Instead, we will focus on a scheme known as the…
A straightforward optical setup for realizing a spectroscopy lock was already discussed in the application note “Frequency References”. However, to get rid of the Doppler broadening, a different…
