141 | Device for measuring optical frequency modulation characteristics | EP89303703.6 | 1989-04-14 | EP0337796A3 | 1991-04-10 | Iwashita, Katsushi |
A frequency-modulated light signal is introduced into an input 12 of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer 1. The light signals at the outputs 17 and 18 are converted into electrical signals and subtracted, giving an output signal in which the effect of the frequency-modulation is not overwhelmed by the effect of amplitude-modulation of the input signal. |

Le dispositif de spectroscopie est constitué par exemple par un interféromètre de FABRY-PEROT à balayage (30), un détecteur optique (31) et un oscilloscope (32). Il reçoit l'onde lumineuse modulée et fournit une représentation du spectre de fréquence du signal électrique. Le système de mesure a une bande passante de l'ordre de 8000 GHz et est adapté pour la caractérisation de composants électroniques et de microcircuits hyperfréquences par des mesures in situ et sans contact. |

143 | Monitoring and controlling radiation source stability | EP87300692.8 | 1987-01-27 | EP0235920A1 | 1987-09-09 | Cameron, Keith Henderson; Smith, David William |
A method and apparatus for monitoring and/or controlling the frequency of a beam of coherent radiation is described. The apparatus comprises a reference source (1) which is controlled to generate a reference radiation beam with a frequency which is repeatedly swept through a range of operating frequencies. This reference beam is combined with a beam of coherent radiation from a test source and the combined beams are fed to a photodiode (9). The output of the photodiode (9) can be displayed so that the upper and lower beat frequencies can be determined enabling the variation of the average of the upper and lower beat frequencies with time to be monitored. Alternatively, the average beat frequency can be fed back as a control signal to control the test beam source (8). In this latter case, the frequency of the test beam will be locked. |

144 | Reducing fluctuations in a radiation beam characteristic | EP87300690.2 | 1987-01-27 | EP0234744A1 | 1987-09-02 | Smith, David William |
A method and apparatus for reducing fluctuations such as phase noise in a characteristic of a coherent beam of radiation is described. The apparatus comprises an interferometer (5) for sensing the fluctuation at the first position to generate an interference beam (6). The interference beam (6) is incident on a radiation detector (7) such as a photodiode which generates an electrical output signal responsive to the intensity of the incident beam. This signal is amplified by an amplifier (8) and fed to a phase modulator (4). Another portion of the original laser beam is also fed to the phase modulator (4). The arrangement is such that the phase modulations applied to the beam by the phase modulator 4 under the control of the signal from the detector (7) reduce or cancel the phase noise in the original beam. |
