Stabilized fiber-optic Mach–Zehnder interferometer for carrier-frequency rejection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have demonstrated stabilization of a fiber-optic Mach–Zehnder interferometer, with a centimeter-scale path difference, to the transmission minimum for the carrier wave of a frequency-modulated laser beam. A time-averaged extinction of 32 dB, limited by the bandwidth of the feedback, was maintained over several hours. The interferometer was used to remove the carrier wave from a 780 nm laser beam that had been phase modulated at 2.7 GHz.
