摘要: 随着待测激光线宽逼近乃至突破1 kHz, 延时自外差测量法中的延时光纤长度需适当加长, 使得测量结果受到1/f 噪声影响。鉴于此, 本文针对短光纤延时自外差法测量千赫兹及以下激光线宽时的1/f 噪声影响与抑制问题开展了研究。研究结果表明, 1/f 噪声对短光纤延时自外差法所测延时自外差功率谱中央部分影响更大, 通过选取远离自外差功率谱中央的相干包络波峰波谷差值来反演激光线宽, 可以有效避免1/f 噪声的影响, 从而获取更准确的待测激光线宽。进一步通过实测两台千赫兹及以下的光纤激光器线宽, 并与基于频率噪声谱的β分割线法所得积分线宽相比较, 验证了该1/f 噪声补偿方法的有效性。

Abstract: As the linewidth of the laser under test approaches or even breaks through 1 kHz, the length of the delay fiber in the delay self-heterodyne measurement method needs to be lengthened properly, so that the measurement results are affected by 1/f noise. In this paper, the influences of 1/f noise on the measurement accuracy of laser linewidth in the order of kHz and below using the delayed self-heterodyne method based on a short delay fiber, and the corresponding suppression technique, are investigated. Our research results show that 1/f noise has a greater influence on the central part of the delay self-heterodyne power spectrum measured by the delay self-heterodyne method using short delay fiber, so that by selecting the difference of the coherent envelope peak and valley far from the center of the self-heterodyne power spectrum to retrieve the laser linewidth, the influence of 1/f noise can be effectively avoided, thereby obtaining a more accurate linewidth of the measured laser. Furthermore, by measuring the fiber laser linewidths in the order of kHz and below, and comparing them with the integral linewidths obtained from the β-separation line based on the frequency noise spectrum, the effectiveness of the 1/f noise compensation method is verified.
