We demonstrated an optical frequency synthesizer based on a femtosecond (fs) mode-locked Ti:sapphire (Ti:s) laser by simultaneously stabilizing the carrier-offset frequency, $f_{ceo}$, and repetition rate, $f_{ rep}$, referenced to the Cs atomic frequency standard. By using two wide-band digital phase-detectors we realized a phase-coherent link between $f_{rep} and f_{ceo} with the relation f_{ceo} = f_{AOM} 5/6f_{rep} ≡ 0, where f_{AOM} = 5/6f_{rep}$ is the phase-locked driving frequency of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) in a self-referencing interferometer and $f_{rep}$ = 100 MHz. As a result, we could stabilize all components of the fs laser comb at once with an equal frequency separation $f_{rep}$ = 100 MHz with $f_{ceo}$ = 0. In our optical frequency synthesizer, the frequency of the nth component ($f_{n}$) is given exactly by the simple relation $f_n = nf_{rep}$, enabling us to use the fs laser comb as a frequency ruler in the optical frequency metrology.

We propose a new scheme of high-resolution heterodyne interferometer that employs the two-axial mode He-Ne laser with an inter-mode beat frequency of 600~1000 MHz. An electronic RF-heterodyne circuit lowers the beat frequency down to 5 MHz, so that the phase change of the interferometer output is precisely measured with a displacement resolution of 0.1 nanometer without significant loss of dynamic bandwidth. A thermal control scheme is adopted to stabilize the cavity length with ainus to suppress frequency drifts caused by the phenomena of frequency pulling and polarization anisotropy of the two-axial made laser to a stability level of 2 parts in $10^9$. The two-axial mode HeNe laser yields a high output power of 2.0 mW, which allows us to perform multiple measurements of up to 10 machine axes simultaneously.

Using Mach-Zehnder type intensity modulator, we stabilized a 10 GHz harmonically mode-locked dispersion-compensated fiber ring laser using a feedback controlling system, and we measured its stability. The laser was stabilized for more than 16 hours by controlling the cavity length to suppress the relaxation oscillation frequency component which had caused the laser output instability. The ms timing jitter and ms amplitude noise were measured to be 260-524 fsec and 4~11.5%, respectively, and BER test measurement showed a value of 10$^{-13}$ .

A laser mesurement system, a modified Michelson interferometer,which can accurately measure high speed length and position of servomechanisms by detecting a phase shift in the measurement beam using an optical interference was developed. A frequency stabilized laser source and a 20 fold frequency interpolation and digitizing circuit were applied to the system. The refractive index of the ambient air was calibrated through the Edlen's formula. The system achieved a resolution of .lambda./40,16nm, a maximum allowable measurement speed of 600 mm/sec, and a length measurement range of 1500mm. Performance of the system was evaluated on the machining center in short and long length measurements

We have measured the wavelengths of the absorption lines of the $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$molecule by using a wavelength meter calibrated against the national optical frequency standard (iodine Stabilized He-Ne Laser, KRISS-R701) in the visible wavelength region. To measure the absolute wavelengths of the absorption lines, the frequency of the laser has been stabilized in the peaks and the sides of the absorption lines of $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$. Also, we have proposed the development of a frequency standard source of ITU-T grid using stabilization in the sides of the absorption lines of $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$.

The frequency of the 633 nm internal mirror He-Ne laser has been stabilized by using the beat frequency and the intensity difference between two Zeeman split components in a transverse magnetic field. The frequency stability and the frequency temperature coefficient for the beat frequency method was $7.0{\times}10^{-11}$ and $170 kHz/^{\circ}C$, respectively, and those for the intensity difference was $1.1{\times}10^{-9}$ and $1.8 MHz/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

반도체 레이저는 가격이 저렴하고 크기가 작으며 주파수 조절이 용이하기 때문에 광통신, 분광학, 원자물리 등 다양한 분야에 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 반도체 레이저 자체는 수십 MHz 정도의 넓은 선폭을 갖고 주파수가 안정되지 않아 분광학이나 원자 냉각실험에 사용이 부적합하여 선폭 축소와 주파수 안정화가 필요하다. (중략)

An accurate length measuring system has been develope by a modified Michelson interferometer. A frequency stabilized laser source and a 20 fold frequency interpolation and digitizing circuit were applied to the system. Resolutioin of .lambda./40, 16 nm, was achieved from the discrete length measuring system. In order to obtain a resoltuion of 1.mu.m a decimalizing module was designed for the 0.016.mu.m resolution system. The refractive index of the ambient air was calibrated on the decimalizing module through the Edlen's formula. Performance of the system was evaluated on the machining center in short and long length measruements.
