Abstract

A new lightwave locking technique which can be used in tuning the wavelength of a local laser diode to the reference wavelength is presented in this paper. The optical frequency from the reference laser source and the optical frequency from the local slave VCO laser are heterodyned on a optical receiver, resulting in the 1.5GHz RF signal corresponding to the difference frequency between two input optical signals. The difference frequency is locked to the reference 1.5GHz oscillator source in off-set frequency locking loop. Using the commercialized microwave components, frequency difference detector can be easily established to lock the lightwave. The optical frequency of 1.55um laser diode which keeps the frequency off-set of 1.5GHz is locked to the input reference optical signal with the locking range of 320MHz.

본 논문은 초고주파 주파수 차이 검출기를 이용한 광파의 off-set 로킹에 대하여 설계 및 제작 실험 결과를 기술하였다. 두 광파를 비팅하여 중간 주파수인 1.5GHz 주파수 성분을 추출하고 이 값을 다시 1.5GHz 기준 발진기 주파수와 곱하여 차이주파수 성분을 추출한 후 주파수 차이 검출기를 이용하여 주파수 로킹을 시켰다. 상용화된 초고주파 부품을 사용하여 주파수 차이 검출기를 제작하였으며 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장의 반도체 레이저의 발생 광파를 입력 광파와 1.5GHz의 주파수 off-set을 유지하면서 로킹이 이루어짐을 확인하였으며 로킹 범위는 320MHz이었다.
