Abstract

An integrated optical linewidth reduction system based on optical feedback and a low-speed electronic control loop to control the optical feedback. Light is tapped and reflected back to the laser with an amplitude, phase or both amplitude and phase adjustment such that the linewidth of the laser is lower than the free-running laser linewidth. The amplitude of the feedback signal may be controlled using an optical attenuator. The phase of the feedback signal may be controlled using a phase shifter. The amplitude of the optical feedback may be monitored by means of a filter and a photodetector, or just a photodetector. The amplitude and/or phase of the optical feedback is monitored by means of a frequency/phase noise discriminator. The phase shifter can be an endless phase shifter.
