Manipulating the Optical Phase of a Laser Beam
20230105656 · 2023-04-06 ·

Binary-phase-shift-key, phase-modulated waveforms with gigahertz bandwidths, suitable for kilowatt-class fiber amplifiers, can be narrowed back to the source laser’s linewidth via second-harmonic, sum-frequency, or difference-frequency generation in a second-order nonlinear crystal. The spectrum of an optical signal phase-modulated with a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) waveform recovers its original optical spectrum when frequency-doubled using second-harmonic generation (SHG). Conceptually, the PRBS waveform is cancelled by the SHG process, and the underlying laser spectrum is converted to the second-harmonic wavelength as though the PRBS modulation were not present. The same cancellation is possible with sum-frequency generation (SFG) and difference frequency generation (DFG), making it possible to construct high-power, narrow-linewidth lasers at wavelengths from the visible to the long-wave infrared. Using ytterbium-, erbium-, thulium-, and neodymium-doped fibers with SHG, SFG and DFG processes allows generation of high-power beams with very narrowband optical spectra and wavelengths from below 400 nm to beyond 5 .Math.m.
