Full textVapour in the stratosphere and troposphere is one of the most important atmospheric greenhouse gases. Apart from its importance for the climate it has a great influence on the formation of polar stratospheric clouds as well as the atmospheric chemistry. A German research group is currently developing the world’s first powerful, mobile, screening vapour-DIAL, which can measure the atmospheric vapour three-dimensionally and in high resolution. Vapour concentrations in the atmosphere can be measured in high temporal and local resolution with this vapour-DIAL. The DIAL is based on a titan-saphire-laser or an alternative OPO-laser (Optical Parametric Oscillator). The seeding-laser, which is needed in order to seed those lasers, was developed in the course of this work by the research group for nonlinear optics in the institute for physics at the University of Potsdam. A highly-resolutive, mobile DIAL needs a seeding-laser with high pulse energy, excellent beam quality and high efficiency. In order to realise this, a frequency stabilised MOPA-System (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) was developed, which based on birefringence-compensated, transversally diode-pumped laser rods. During the research process several ways to realise the MOPA-System were investigated. In this process the solid laser materials Yb:YAG [1], core-doped Nd:YAG-Ceramics [2] und conventional Nd:YAG were introduced and their suitability for the MOPA-System was investigated. After the choice for Nd:YAG as laser-active material was made, the concept of the laser-system could be developed based on amplification-calculations. The amplification-calculation meets the requirements of real systems, because intensities depending on diameter and a radial, non-homogeneous inversion density are being taken into consideration. The frequency of the pulsed oscillator (frequency stabilisation of 1 MHz) was stabilised by means of the Pound-Drever-Hall-Method. The frequency stability of the oscillator is measured using the Heterodyn-Method. After the investigation of different configurations for linear and circular oscillators a circular oscillator with two laser heads was set up, which is injection-seeded by a second laser with a stable frequency. At a repetition rate of 400 Hz the circular oscillator emits a pulse energy of Eout = 21 mJ with almost diffraction-limited beam quality (M2 < 1.2). These laser pulses were first amplified by a pre-amplifier and afterwards by two birefringence compensated main-amplifier in doublepass. Among other factors, an excellent beam quality (M2 = 1.75) could be reached by the doublepass through the main amplifier realised with a phase conjugating mirror (SF6) based on stimulated Brillouin-scattering. The developed laser emits pulses that are of 25 ns length and have an energy of 250 mJ. A currently unique laser system was developed. In the research findings there are no previous documents of the combination of the reached stability of frequency, beam quality and power in one system. In the future the pulse energy of the system is to be further increased through the use of core-doped, ceramic laser material, a higher pump power of the main amplifiers and phase-conjugating mirrors made of quartz.

Full textThis work is about dual-polarization dual-frequency fibers lasers. The control of the frequency difference of these lasers is a major challenge in microwave photonics. Controlling the beat frequency could allow compact and low-noise sources, in order to develop applications in metrology or telecom. Here, we focus on 1.5 μm sources, in either DFB or DBR configurations, made of Er-doped or co-doped Er:Yb silica fibres. Their beat frequency is about 1 GHz for DFB lasers, and 100 MHz for DBR lasers. This thesis investigates several methods to stabilize the beat note, then to modify the fiber birefringence, to increase the beat frequency. First, an optical phase-locked loop method is used to lock the beat note on a frequency reference. By using the pump diode as an actuator, we have successfully stabilized beat frequencies between 300 MHz and 10 GHz for days. We then study a stabilization method by frequency-shifted optical feedback. A theoretical model based on rate equations model is used and allows to retrieve the experimental observations. We observe different dynamical regimes by locking the beat note on a reference frequency. In the stable area, we reduce the phase noise to −100 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz from the carrier. Next, we have mixed the set-up of the injection-locking to a delay line, in order to effectively stabilize the beat note on itself. Finally, various approaches have been explored to increase the beat frequency of DBR lasers, to the needs of applications. It has been possible to continuously monitor the impact of a UV beam on the fiber birefringence. We also studied a method for reversible modification of the birefringence, exploiting the elasto-optical effect. Regardless of the method used, we observed an increase in the beat frequency from 100 MHz to more than 10 GHz in the best case

Full textThe thesis consists in developing a high-resolution mid-infrared spectrometer traceable to primary frequency standards and providing a unique combination of resolution, tunability, detection sensitivity and frequency control. A quantum cascade laser (QCL) emitting at 10.3 µm is phase locked to an optical frequency comb stabilized to a remote 1.55 µm ultra-stable reference developed at LNE-SYRTE, monitored against primary frequency standards and transferred to LPL via an active noise compensated fibre link. This results in a 0.1 Hz QCL linewidth, a stability below 10⁻¹⁵ at 1 s and an uncertainty on its absolute frequency below 4 × 10⁻¹⁴. Moreover, the setup allows the QCL to be widely scanned over 1.4 GHz while maintaining the highest stabilities and precision. This QCL was used to carry out saturated absorption spectroscopy of several molecules in a compact multipass cell. We demonstrated statistical uncertaintyon line-center frequencies at the kHz level and sub-10 kHz systematic uncertainty. We have recorded several singular K-doublets and many rovibrational transitions of methanol, in particular weak transitions and weak doublets - unreported so far. Precise parameters modelling trioxaneh ave been determined with only a few tens of rovibrational transitions recorded at unprecedented accuracy. The quadrupole hyperfine structure of an ammonia transition has been resolved for thefirst time. This setup constitutes a key element for the project aiming at the first observation of parity violation in molecules currently held at LPL, and, more generally, for various fields of physics, from atmospheric and interstellar physics to fundamental physics beyond the standard model

Full textIn this thesis, we study several methods to improve atom interferometers. In the first part of the manuscript, we analyze how a nondestructive detection, that preserves the coherence between the internal degrees of freedom in an atomic ensemble, can be used to increase the sensitivity of interferometers. We first theoretically show how the projection of the wave-function induced by the measurement prepares spin-squeezed states. We then present the implementation of this method with a detection based on the frequency modulation spectroscopy. Finally, some first applications are described, more explicitly we show how to implement a quantum feedback that preserve the atomic state against the decoherence induced by a random collective flip, we also introduce a phase-locked loop where the atomic sample is used as the phase reference. In the second part of the manuscript, we present the all-optical realization of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a high-finesse cavity using a laser system based on standard telecoms technologies. We first describe the resonator and the frequency lock of the laser on the resonance, in particular, we introduce a new stabilization method based of the serrodyne modulation. Finally, we show how the condensate is obtained from the evaporation in the cavity mode

Full textStimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is a coherent interaction process in which light is scattered from optically generated acoustic waves. It is a powerful tool for microwave and optical signal processing, distributed sensing and spectroscopy. Brillouin lasers are attracting a lot of interest for their ability to produce ultra coherent linewidths. This thesis is devoted to the understanding of noise properties of Brillouin fiber ring lasers, operating with multiple Stokes orders. First, we present a technique based on the cavity ring-down method, which allows to characterize the Brillouin gain coefficient directly from probing the laser cavity. Its advantages are to obtain parameters from a single experiment with low optical powers (some 10 milliwatts) for short cavities (a few meters long, or integrated cavities). Secondly, it is shown that an intrinsic linewidth of a few tens of mHz can be easily obtained by cascading two non-resonant Brillouin lasers (for which the pump performs a single pass inside the cavity). In order to obtain these results, the long-term stability has been improved by using a Pound-Drever-Hall servo loop, which allows us to compare our analytical and experimental results. Unfortunately, we were unable to explore the fundamental limits of noise reduction due to the noise floor of our bench. Thirdly, one of the major works of this thesis is the theoretical and experimental study of the noise properties, including frequency noise and relative intensity noise, of a resonant Brillouin laser (for which pump and Stokes waves are resonant inside the cavity). In particular, the impacts of the fiber-ring-cavity quality factor, Brillouin gain detuning, are evaluated very precisely on the laser RIN features such as amplitude noise reduction and relaxation frequency. We emphasize the fact that many characteristics of the frequency noise are related to the RIN properties by a coupling between intensity and phase. We show that the cascade process modifies the dynamics of the Brillouin laser when compared to those of a single-mode Brillouin laser with a single first-order Stokes component. Our experimental results are in excellent agreement with our numerical simulations, obtained thanks to our non-linear system describing the operation of a multi-Stokes Brillouin laser. This good match is mainly due to our ability: to obtain very precise values of the cavity parameters and the Brillouin gain coefficient using the CRDM technique ; to achieve long-term stability (hours); to finely control the detuning between the laser Stokes resonance and the frequency of the Brillouin gain maximum. We demonstrate experimentally for the first time that frequency noise is degraded in the presence of anti-Stokes Brillouin scattering. We also show that a gain detuning of the order of a few hundred kHz can degrade the intensity noise reduction or also increase the linewidth by amplitude-phase coupling. All these very fine observations thus allow us to set the fundamental limits of such laser systems such as: the increase in noise due to anti-Stokes orders; the role of pump noise and its possible interrelation with cavity finesse; the effect of the detuning inherent to higher Stokes orders. All these conclusions are key to the design and engineering of these Brillouin fiber lasers, which are currently attracting a great deal of interest as evidenced by the work in progress in the scientific community. This PhD thesis contributes to a better understanding of multi-Stokes Brillouin lasers

Full textI report in this manuscript a theoretical and experimental study of a compact, reliable and low cost source of 30 Hz linewidth, continuous and coherent electromagnetic waves tunable from 1 GHz to 500 GHz in steps of 1 GHz. These waves are generated by photomixing two distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes at 1550 nm which are frequency stabilized with orthogonal polarizations on the same optical fibered Fabry-Perot cavity. I have designed very fast electronic control filters for each laser allowing a 7 MHz servo bandwidth limited by the loop length. I demonstrate phase noise suppressions down to -60 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz and -90 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequencies from a 92 GHz electrical carrier. I also measure a ~170 kHz frequency drift of the beat note at 10 GHz on the long term over a continuous 7.5 hour locking period. I show an optimized design of an integrated servo loop of few tens of cm length which reduces the phase noise by 18 dB at 1 MHz optical carrier offset frequency and the phase-amplitude couplings in the cavity by a factor of 50 compared to the experimental one. The addition of a third DFB laser phase stabilized on a local oscillator allows the possibility to have continuously tunable source over 1 THz. The continuous wave source also makes it possible to generate fixed repetition rate pico- or femtosecond pulses from highly non-linear and dispersive fibers, replacing the DFB lasers by further stable lasers. I have calculated by simulation 7.2 fs temporal jitter at 40 GHz repetition rate over a 1 ms integration time
