A simple digital control system has been developed for the frequency stabilization of an internal mirror He-Ne laser. The system is based on one chip microprocessor with embedded Basic interpreter. To stabilize the laser output frequency, the signal such as power difference or beat frequency between two modes is supplied and processed by a microprocessor, and control signal is fed to the heating coil would round the laser tube for adjusting the spacing of the laser cavity mirror. Newly developed frequency stabilization system is totally digitized. The system and the frequency stability performance are briefly described.

A common feature in various methods of optical interferometry for absolute distance measurements is the use of multiple monochromatic light components either in sequence or in parallel at the same time. Two or multiple wavelength synthesis has been studied though its performance is vulnerable to the frequency instability of the light source. Recently continuous frequency modulation is considered a promising method with availability of wide band tunable diode lasers, which also have frequency instability errors. We can lock frequencies of these third-party light sources to the modes of the femtosecond laser which is stabilized to the precision of the standard radio frequency. To this end, we have stabilized all the modes of the femtosecond laser to the atomic frequency standard by using powerful tools of frequency-domain laser stabilization.

We cooled cesium atoms below the Doppler cooling limit by laser cooling. For this deep cooling of atoms, the laser frequency was shifted by using the Zeeman shift of an absorption line of cesium. The stabilization of the laser frequency was maintained while the laser frequency was shifted by 40 MHz within 2 ms. The lowest temperature of the laser-cooled cesium atoms was $2.2\muK$\pm$0.5$\muK$in this experiment. We measured the temperature of the laser-cooled cesium atoms as a function of the frequency detuuing and the intensity of the cooling laser. The results agreed well with the ones calculated by two-photon laser cooling theory.theory.

We have designed and assembled a saturated absorption-spectroscopy system of $^{127}I_2$ for the frequency stabilization of the 543 nm He-Ne laser. The frequency of a internal-mirror 543 nm He-Ne laser was swept by utilizing the temperature and PZT change of the laser cavity length. Frequency modulation was applied to the output laser mirror with a PZT modulator for the third harmonic signal. A portion of the hyperfine spectrum originated from the R(12)26-0 and R(106)28-0 transitions of the B-X system of $^{127}I_2$ was observed as the third-derivative signal using a saturated absorption spectroscopy. The signal-to-noise ratio of a typical hyperfine spectrum signal was estimated to be 30:1.

FMCW LiDAR system with robust target detection capabilities even under adverse operating conditions such as snow, rain, and fog is addressed in this paper. Our focus is primarily on enhancing the performance of FMCW LiDAR by improving the characteristics of the frequency-modulated laser, which directly influence range resolution, coherence length, and maximum measurement range etc. of LiDAR. We describe the utilization of an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder laser interferometer to measure real-time changes of the lasing frequency and to correct frequency modulation errors through an optical phase-locked loop technique. To extend the coherence length of laser, we employ an extended-cavity laser diode as the laser source and implement a laser interferometer with an photonic integrated circuit for miniaturization of optical system. The developed FMCW LiDAR system exhibits a bandwidth of 10.045GHz and a remarkable distance resolution of 0.84mm.

Lasers are used as the source of the interferometers in the industrial field. These lasers need 2 requirements. The first is the narrow linewidth of laser for the long coherence length. The second is the stabilized frequency of laser for the precision measurement. Now HeNe lasers are mostly used and the frequency stability is about 10$^{-9}$ . In this paper, we construct the HeNe laser systems of frequency stabilization using typical 2 method, the beat frequency stabilization method and the intensity difference method. So, we get the frequency stabilities of 2.01$\times$10$^{-9}$ (0.1s), 3.4$\times$10$^{-9}$ (0.1s).
