Feedforward Cancellation of High-Frequency Phase Noise in Frequency-Doubled Lasers

Abstract

The cancellation of high-frequency laser phase noise using feedforward techniques, as opposed to feedback methods, has achieved significant advancements in recent years. However, directly applying existing feedforward techniques to laser systems based on nonlinear conversion still faces substantial challenges. Here, we propose and demonstrate a feedforward scheme that suppresses phase noise in frequency-doubled light by utilizing phase noise information of its fundamental pump. This scheme is enabled by the fact that the phase jitter of the frequency-doubled light is simply twice that of the pump, except for a first-order low-pass filtering effect introduced by the SHG enhancement cavity. Testing this method on a 420-nm frequency-doubled laser system, we realize a 25-dB suppression of the servo noise bump near 1 MHz on the 420-nm light, and an average suppression of 30 dB for strong injected noise ranging from 100 kHz to 20 MHz. This scheme shows promising potential for applications requiring blue or ultraviolet light with minimal high-frequency phase noise, such as precision control of atoms and molecules.
