FSS
Frequency Stabilisation System
Overview
Why we need FSS:
Stabilise the optical frequency of fibre laser to
+3 kHz
Use Rb frequency standard at 780 nm
access from 1560 nm SHG
Tuning control
0-200 V
Tuning over 10 GHz
+70 µV ≡ +3 kHz
Stabilise to 3 kHz
Stabilise circuit temperature
All voltage variations due to lock-in
signals
Peltier Cooler
Peltier Cooler
Heat pump uses Peltier-Seebeck effect
Array of p and n type semiconductors
Transfers heat from one face to the other
depending on current flow
Experiments
Evaluation board which controlled Peltier test setup
Experiments done by adjusting set-point voltage
and looking at how the Peltier temperature
changed
Measured the voltage across the module; THERM
voltage, and convergence
Results
0.7 V-4 A power
supply to get 25 °C
Gradient of linear
region agreed with
specification
Convergence
between THERM and
set-point deviated
further from 100 µV at
higher temperatures
Hall Probe
Magnetic field
Single turn inductive loop in lines of
magnetic flux
5²S1/2 → 5²P3/2
Magnetic field affect the energy of
transition
Ambient fields
4-layer cylindrical shield lined with mumetal
Results
Opto-isolator:
Top 4 frequency bits set by DIP switch
FPGA controls bits 8-26
