本研究使用光纖布拉格光柵(fiber Bragg grating, FBG)以及單體腔體(monolithic block),設計一外腔半導體雷射系統。此外,我們將光纖光柵纏繞在溫控之C型結構上,並以改變此結構之周長以對光纖施加應力,以達到改變腔長及調變雷射波長之目的。此雷射系統橫向輸出模態為TEM00、自由線寬為18 kHz。此外腔雷射可被穩頻在一Fabry-Perot共振腔以及銣原子之D2躍遷頻率。
In this thesis we built an external cavity diode laser system (ECDL) utilizing a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and an aluminum monolithic block. The fiber can provide a very long laser cavity and a very good spatial mode, essentially TEM00 mode. The monolithic block which holds the laser diode and the fiber coupler, then provides a very sturdy structure for robust fiber coupling and optical feedback. The laser wavelength can be tuned by changing the fiber temperature and stress of fiber grating. The linewidth of this ECDL under free running was measured as 18 kHz. The frequency of laser was stabilized at Fabry-Perot cavity and 87Rb D2 line.
