摘要
The authors report on the development and phase locking of a frequency agile laser. The use of a simple unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer together with a wideband phase-locked loop permits to control very fast frequency chirps (up to 3 GHz in 5 mu s) with an excellent precision (frequency error less than 100 kHz). The servoloop could be applied to many tunable lasers. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
