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…
The DLC pro lock is a digital lock based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and reaches bandwidths of up to 30 kHz. It excels in terms of convenience and ease of use as it provides remote…
FALC pro DLC pro Lock DigiLock 110 Description High-performance solution for linewidth reduction; digital interface (remote locking) Digital controller…
An offset phase lock to a second cw laser can easily be implemented using TOPTICA´s FALC pro which will be presented in more detail in the application note “PID Feedback Controllers”. For…
There are various ways to lock a laser to another optical reference. Here, the general principle of a phase lock to an optical reference will be described. The optical reference can e.g. be a second…
TOPTICA Solution
Both options of generating the error signal from the spectroscopy signal are supported by TOPTICA´s DLC pro Lock, which is a software option of TOPTICA´s laser controller DLC pro…
TOPTICA Solution
TOPTICA´s CoSy includes a complete optical setup for Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy together with a controller which performs the subtraction of the reference signal from the…
