摘要
差频光源用于大气分子稳定同位素丰度研究需要频率稳定的连续输出的空闲光。基于连续可调谐钛宝石激光器和单频连续NdYAG激光器建立差频系统,为了稳定差频系统产生的红外光源的波长,利用MgOPPLN作为倍频晶体,采用有多普勒展宽的碘分子吸收稳频方法,结合数字比例积分微分(PID)反馈控制技术,将NdYAG激光器的频率漂移量稳定在1.2 MHz/h内,稳定度为4.26×10-9。实验结果表明:增加对压电陶瓷(PZT)的调制电压时,NdYAG激光在1 h内的频率漂移量迅速减小,超过1 V后漂移量趋于稳定;改变对PZT调制频率没有获得较高的稳定度。将频率稳定后的NdYAG激光用于产生3.42 μm附近的差频光源,通过对低压下CH4气体分子吸收谱线的测量,去卷积运算得到差频系统的线宽约为6.9 MHz。实验结果既为该方法用于稳定激光频率提供了重要的参考,又为痕量气体探测提供了频率稳定的差频光源。
Abstract
Difference frequency laser used for the study of atmospheric molecule isotope abundance requires stable frequency and continuous idler radiation. A difference frequency generation (DFG) system is established based on a tunable continuous wave (CW) Tisapphire laser and a CW single-frequency NdYAG laser. In the DFG system, frequency stabilization method of iodine molecule Doppler-broadened absorption combined with digital proportion integration differentiation (PID) feedback control technology is adopted to stabilize the wavelength of infrared laser arised from the DFG system, while MgOPPLN is used as the frequency doubling crystal. The NdYAG laser frequency shift is stabilized within 1.2 MHz/h and the stability is 4.26×10-9. The experimental results show that the frequency shift within 1 h of NdYAG laser decreases rapidly with the increase of the voltage loaded on piezoelectric ceramic (PZT), but smaller shift is not achieved beyond 1 V; better stability is not achieved by changing the frequency of modulation voltage. NdYAG laser with stabilized frequency is used to generate difference frequency laser near 3.42 μm. By detecting low pressure absorption line of CH4, the 6.9 MHz line width of this difference frequency system is derived. The results provide not only an important reference for laser frequency stabilization by this technology, but also a stable difference frequency laser for trace gas detection.
