  • Phase structure of harmonically mode-locked optical frequency combs

    Taro Hasegawa

    Optics Express (Optica)  32 ( 5 ) 8092 - 8100 2024.02

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted

     View Summary

    Carrier phase of a harmonically mode-locked optical frequency comb (OFC) is investigated in detail. While harmonically mode-locked OFCs show promise for high-repetition-rate applications, their mode spacing is not the same as the pulse repetition rate, unlike fundamentally mode-locked OFCs. Consequently, harmonically mode-locked OFCs are unsuitable for applications requiring OFCs with wide mode spacing. This study examines the pulse-to-pulse carrier phase evolution of 4th- and 5th-order harmonically mode-locked OFCs, revealing uneven carrier phase evolution responsible for the narrow mode spacing. The possibility of achieving harmonically mode-locked OFCs with wide mode spacing is suggested by implementing pulse-to-pulse phase modulation to ensure even phase evolution.

  • Evaluation of the Sagnac-loop laser frequency stabilization to sub-Doppler spectral lines

    Taro Hasegawa

    Journal of Optical Society of America B (Optica)  40 ( 3 ) 667 - 672 2023.03

    Single Work, Lead author, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  07403224

     View Summary

    Laser frequency stability locked to D2 transition of 85Rb at 780 nm by the Sagnac-loop stabilization scheme was evaluated using the heterodyne measurement with an optical frequency comb. This scheme does not require modulation and magnetic field to generate the feedback error signal. Therefore, the setup for the laser frequency stabilization is simple. Because of the mechanical stability of the Sagnac interferometer, the dispersion of atom transition, which is used as an error signal for feedback loop, can be observed with negligibly small effects of mechanical fluctuations. In the experiment, the Allan variance for relative frequency uncertainty was 2.6×10-12 over 64 s averaging.

  • Mode spacing multiplication of optical frequency combs without power loss

    Taiki Kageyama, Taro Hasegawa

    Optics Express (Optica)  30 ( 11 ) 19090 - 19099 2022.05

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Corresponding author, Accepted

     View Summary

    We demonstrate the mode spacing multiplication of optical frequency combs (OFCs) using interleaving technique. The pulse train of an OFC after interleaving is phase modulated, and phase demodulation is necessary for mode spacing multiplication. This scheme enables mode spacing multiplication without power loss in principle, which is in contrast to the conventional mode filtering technique. During demonstration, the mode spacing of the OFC of a mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser (repetition rate of 97 MHz) is quadrupled by the interleaving process and successive phase demodulation.

  • Fast polarization control for optical frequency combs

    Taiki Kageyama, Taro Hasegawa

    Optics Express (Optica)  29 ( 23 ) 38477 - 38487 2021.11

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

     View Summary

    Polarization of an optical frequency comb is electrically controlled using a waveguide electro-optic phase modulator (WG-EOM). Owing to the low operation voltage and wide electric bandwidth of the WG-EOM, fast polarization control is possible. It is found that birefringence of the WG-EOM and polarization-maintaining optical fibers causes polarization-dependent pulse separation, which makes polarization control of the optical frequency comb impossible. Therefore, compensation of the birefringence is required for polarization control. In the experiment, a delay line in free space is used for birefringence compensation, and pulse-to-pulse polarization control of an optical frequency comb (with a repetition rate of 100 MHz) is demonstrated.

  • 260 kHz mode-spacing optical frequency combs for scan-free high-resolution direct-comb spectroscopy

    Taro Hasegawa

    Optics Express (The Optical Society)  28 ( 22 ) 32837 - 32846 2020.10

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Accepted

     View Summary

    For scan-free high-resolution direct-comb spectroscopy, mode spacing of an optical
    frequency comb is reduced down to 260 kHz by phase modulation. It turns out that timedomain signal is degraded by averaging because of slow optical path length fluctuations and
    fast optical pulse timing jitter. In this study, compensation of these effects is introduced, and
    signal degradation by averaging is avoided. With demonstrations of direct-comb spectroscopy
    with the narrow-mode-spacing optical frequency comb, Doppler-limited absorption spectrum of
    methane and reflection spectrum from an optical ring cavity are observed. As a result, detailed
    resonance spectral line profile of 8 MHz linewidth for the optical ring cavity is obtained in 50 ms
    measurement time.
