Abstract

An experiment on the phase stability of injection-locked beam is done by using AlGaAs semiconductor lasers. The coherence of two beams from the master and slave lasers is measured by interference between the beams in the Twymann-Green interferometer. The phase change of the output beam of the slave laser as a function of the driving current is measured in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer consisted of the master and slave lasers and a value of 2.5radlmA is obtainccl.

최대 출력 30mW의 AlGaAs 반도체 레이저를 이용하여 주입-잠금(injection-locking)을 실험하였다. 먼저 주인 레이저에서 나오는 광파와 노예 레이저에서 나오는 광파를 Twymann-Green형 간섭계에서 상호 간섭시켜 간섭 무늬의 선명도(visibility)를 측정하였으며, 다음으로 Mach-Zehnder형 간섭계에서 주인 레이저의 파장을 고정시키고 노예 레이저의 펌핑 전류를 미소 변화시킬 때 발생하는 위상 이동을 측정하여 주입-잠금된 노예 레이저의 위상 변화율을 측정하여 2.5rad/mA의 비례계수를 얻었다.
