摘要
实现了一种基于数字信号处理(DSP)技术的外腔半导体激光器的自动稳频装置。该自动稳频装置以铷原子的饱和吸收谱线作为频率参考,采用调制解调技术得到稳频所需的鉴频信号。激光自动稳频装置通过模数转换器以固定的速率不间断地采集饱和吸收信号和鉴频信号,由DSP芯片对采集到的数字信号进行处理和分析。DSP 芯片利用通用输入输出端口控制调制信号的开关状态,通过数模转换器控制激光频率扫描以及输出数字反馈。利用所述的激光稳频技术不仅实现了外腔半导体激光器自动稳频,而且能够实时评估激光器的锁定情况,在激光器失锁后及时重新锁定,提高了激光器的长期运行能力。最后,将使用自动稳频技术的激光器应用于空间冷原子钟原理样机地面实验中,该稳频激光可以满足相关科学实验的需求。
Abstract
An automatic frequency stabilization system of external cavity diode laser based on digital signal processing (DSP) technology is achieved. The automatic frequency stabilization system uses saturated absorption spectroscopy of rubidium atom as the frequency reference and obtains error signal by modulation and demodulation technology. The system continuously collects saturated absorption signal and error signal by analog-to-digital converter at a fixed rate, the collected digital signal is treated and analyzed by DSP chip. The DSP chip controls the switch of modulation signal by its general purpose input output, and realizes the control of laser frequency scanning and digital feedback outputting by digital-to-analog converter. The laser frequency stabilization technology can not only stabilize the frequency of external cavity diode laser automatically, but also relock laser frequency in time after losing lock by evaluating the lock state of laser in real time, which improves the long-time running ability of the laser. Finally, the laser that uses the laser frequency stabilization technology is applied to a prototype of cold atomic clock in space, and it can meet the needs of relevant scientific experiments.
