摘要
We describe an all-pass fiber resonator with active phase-locking capability for accurate multiplication of the repetition rate of femtosecond light pulses. The cavity length of the resonator is precisely controlled using the Pounder-Drever-Hall phase-locking technique so that the repetition rate is multiplied in stabilization to the Rb atomic clock. Our test result proves the proposed phase-locking scheme is an effective means of generating higher repetition rate pulses with no significant power loss while providing a high degree of long-term stability.
