We introduce a novel approach to achieve high bandwidth laser frequency modulation using a lithium niobate chip as an intracavity electro-optic modulator. The integration of the modulator with the cateye output coupler provides a unique solution for high bandwidth frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing.
We present a novel approach to high bandwidth laser frequency modulation. A lithium niobate chip is used as an intracavity electro-optic modulator in a tunable cateye external cavity diode laser. The modulator is conveniently integrated with the cateye output coupler, providing a unique approach to high bandwidth frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing. The intracavity modulator feedback was successfully operated below 1 V and achieved superior frequency noise suppression compared to conventional feedback through diode injection current modulation. A closed loop bandwidth of 1.8 MHz was demonstrated, and the laser linewidth reduced to around 1 Hz as measured by the heterodyne measurement. (C) 2022 Author(s).
