摘要：

We have succeeded in the simultaneous stabilization of the optical frequency and repetition rate of a regeneratively mode-locked picosecond erbium-doped fiber ring laser. The optical frequency was locked to the molecular absorption of C2H2 in the 1.5 mu m band, and the repetition rate was stabilized to a 40 GHz synthesizer by using a microwave phase-locked loop. The optical frequency stability of the pulse train reached 2 X 10(-11) for tau= 10-100 s. The key to success is the independent control of the repetition rate without disturbing theoptical cavity condition. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America
