    摘要:

    为克服传统单频调制转移光谱方法中误差信号灵敏度不足及激光锁定状态判断困难的问题,提出了一种双频调制转移光谱的双频调制转移光谱(DF-MTS)激光频率自动稳频方法。该方法在泵浦光上施加双频正弦相位调制,解调获得两个误差信号并叠加,构建出一个高灵敏度的双频调制转移误差信号。同时,引入了基于二倍频信号辅助的激光锁定判别策略,利用吸收信号中的二倍频信号以及误差信号的幅值信息,判断激光频率是否与吸收峰对准,实现吸收峰的自动识别与锁定状态的快速判别。进一步在可编程逻辑门阵列(FPGA)全硬件实时信号处理技术的基础上设计了全自动稳频控制模块,具备双频误差信号解调、二倍频信号解调、识别-控制-监测控制模块(ICM)识别与控制监测、扫描控制、比例-积分-微分(PID)闭环控制、快速重锁等功能,当检测到失锁时会快速重新锁定,可实现全自动的稳频控制。开展了理论推导与仿真分析,搭建了激光稳频实验系统,实验结果表明,DF-MTS方法所得的误差信号灵敏度较传统方法提升了20.24%。进一步利用飞秒光频梳进行拍频测量,验证了激光成功锁定于85Rb D2线(F=2→F′=3)吸收峰,锁定后稳频激光与吸收峰理论值间频差的标准差为17 kHz,相对阿伦偏差可达1.09×10-11。自动重锁实验结果表明,系统可实时监测激光的锁定状态,检测到失锁后可在40.192 ms内完成重新锁定,展现出良好的动态响应能力与鲁棒性。

    Abstract:

    This study proposes an automatic laser frequency stabilization method using dualfrequency modulation transfer spectroscopy(DF-MTS) to overcome the limitations of conventional MTS methods, such as insufficient sensitivity of the error signal and difficulty in determining the laser lock status. In this method, a dual-frequency sinusoidal phase modulation is applied to the pump beam, and two resulting error signals are demodulated and combined to construct a highly sensitive dual-frequency modulation transfer error signal. Furthermore, a second-harmonic-signal-assisted discrimination strategy is introduced for laser lock status determination. By utilizing the second-harmonic component in the absorption signal along with the amplitude information of the error signal, this approach enables accurate judgment of whether the laser frequency is aligned with the absorption peak, thereby achieving automatic absorption peak identification and rapid lock status detection. Based on the full-hardware real-time signal processing technology of field programmable gate array(FPGA), a fully automatic frequency stabilization control module is designed, featuring dual-frequency error signals demodulation, second harmonic signal demodulation, identify, control, and monitor (ICM), scanning control, proportional integral derivative control (PID), and fast relocking functions. When the loss of lock is detected, it will quickly start the relock process, enabling fully automatic frequency stabilization control. Theoretical derivation and simulation analysis are conducted, and a laser frequency stabilization experimental system is constructed to validate the proposed method. Experimental results show that the DF-MTS method improves the sensitivity of the error signal by 20.24% compared with conventional techniques. Further verification via beat-frequency measurements using a femtosecond optical frequency comb confirms that the laser is successfully locked to the absorption peak of the 85Rb D2 line (F=2 → F′=3). The standard deviation of the frequency difference between the stabilized laser and the theoretical value of the absorption line is 17 kHz, and the relative Allan deviation reaches 1.09×10-11. Auto-relock experiments show that the system can monitor the locking status of the laser in real time and complete relocking within 40.192 ms upon detecting loss of lock, indicating excellent dynamic response and robustness.
