Abstract

Two methods using a laser-diode tapered amplifier to produce high-power, high-efficiency optical frequency sidebands over a wide tunable frequency range are studied and compared. For a total output of 500 mW at 811 nm, 20% of the power can be placed in each of the first-order sidebands. Functionality and characterization are presented within the sideband frequency region of 0.8-2.3 GHz, and it is shown that both methods can be applied beyond this frequency range. These methods provide a versatile and effective tool for atomic physics experiments.

摘要

研究并比较了两种使用激光二极管锥形放大器在宽可调频率范围内产生高功率、高效率光频边带的方法。对于811nm处500mW的总输出功率，20%的功率可置于每个一阶边带中。在0.8 - 2.3GHz的边带频率区域内展示了其功能和特性，并且表明这两种方法均可应用于该频率范围之外。这些方法为原子物理实验提供了一种通用且有效的工具。
