Use of single-mode optical fiber in the stabilization of laser frequency

Creators

Abstract

A new method of using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed by single-mode optical fibers to stabilize the frequency of a helium-neon laser has been studied. Preliminary experimental result of 5000-Hz linewidth within the time scale of 1 s is presented.
