Frequency modulated laser beam with highly efficient intensity stabilisation
Abstract
We analyse the limitation of the amplitude modulation rejection due to the spatial modulation of the output beam of an acousto-optic modulator used in an active laser beam stabilisation system when a frequency modulation of a few megahertz is applied to this modulator. We show how to overcome this problem, using a single mode optical fibre at the output of the modulator. A residual amplitude modulation of 10-5 is achieved.
