  • Title: Frequency stabilization of dual-mode microchip laser by means of beat frequency stabilization
    Iyon Titok Sugiarto; Masayoshi Watanabe; Satoshi Sunada; Masaharu Hyodo
    Optical Review, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 27, 1, 98-107, 01 Feb. 2020, Peer-reviwed, The stabilization of the laser oscillation frequency of a dual-mode microchip laser was demonstrated by stabilizing the beat frequency generated by the two simultaneously oscillating longitudinal modes. In the experiment, a beat frequency of 101 GHz was stabilized to +/- 50 kHz using negative feedback control. As a result, the fluctuation of the laser oscillation frequency was finally stabilized to +/- 50 MHz or less within the resolution of the measurement instrument with an estimated short-term fluctuation of +/- 3.3 MHz. Furthermore, using this technique, the initial drift of the laser oscillation frequency was significantly reduced, and the linear sweep operation of the laser oscillation frequency was successfully demonstrated by linearly sweeping the beat frequency over 30 MHz while maintaining locking. Our technique is essentially robust and suitable for the miniaturization of the system in the future.

  • Characteristics of pulse width for an enhanced second harmonic generation
    Yun Zhang; Masaharu Hyodo; Yoshiko Okada-Shudo; Yun Zhu; Xiaoyang Wang; Yong Zhu; Guiling Wang; Chuangtian Chen; Shuntaro Watanabe; Masayoshi Watanabe
    OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 387, 241-244, Mar. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Temporal characteristics of a cavity enhancement second harmonic (SH) generation for picosecond laser pulse are investigated. We experimentally measured pulse width changes that were indued by group velocity mismatching (GVM), SH process, and enhancement cavity. It indicates that the generated pulse width is a combined effect of the GVM and SH process. Meanwhile, the effect of the enhancement cavity can be avoided by controlling its free spectrum range. A interferometric autocorrelator with a KBBF-PCD as nonlinear crystal is also composed and this extends the measurement light wavelength below 410 nm.

  • Directionally selective motion detection with bacteriorhodopsin patterned sensor

    SYNTHETIC METALS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 222, Part B, 249-254, Dec. 2016, Peer-reviwed, A compact and low-cost motion detector based on a light-sensitive protein bacteriorhodopsin is fabricated. We show that a single photocell, which is masked with a pattern, can detect the speed and direction of a moving light without complex software algorithms. When light scans the patterned sensing area, the edges of each pattern produce polarity-reversed photocurrents depending on the light bar's speed and direction. Owing to the asymmetry of the pattern, we can detect two or four directions of the moving light. We intend to exploit this unique property in gestural manipulation with a laser pointer or fingers for remote control systems. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Characterization of coherence-or-power selectable operation of an external-cavity semiconductor diode laser
    Masaharu Hyodo; Masayoshi Watanabe; Akira Kawakami; Shingo Saito; Masaaki Adachi
    APPLIED OPTICS, OPTICAL SOC AMER, 55, 36, 10204-10210, Dec. 2016, Peer-reviwed, The properties of the coherence-or-power selectable operation of an external-cavity semiconductor diode laser through the control of intracavity polarization states have been characterized in detail. In our technique, a diffraction grating and a reflector functioned as a polarization-dependent output coupler, such that the portion of light fed back to the gain medium was readily controlled by rotating the intracavity polarization axis, which resulted in the selectable operation of either a high degree of coherence or a high power for the laser output. We could continuously sweep the correlation widths over a range of approximately one order of magnitude, as well as four-fold output powers by simply rotating the intracavity half-wave plate. We also demonstrated experiments on optical phase locking, using two independent coherence-or-power selectable lasers. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America

  • Optical phase-locking of two longitudinal modes of a dual-mode laser for millimetre-wave signal generation
    M. Hyodo; K. Sato; A. Kawakami; S. Saito; M. Watanabe; M. Adachi
    ELECTRONICS LETTERS, INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET, 52, 9, 748-U91, Apr. 2016, Peer-reviwed, Phase-locking of two longitudinal oscillating modes of a dual-mode microchip laser that has 101 GHz longitudinal-mode spacing has been successfully demonstrated by using electronic negative-feedback control. Since the two longitudinal modes were oscillating simultaneously in the same laser cavity, the common-mode fluctuation cancels, resulted in the small required control bandwidth of approximate to 4 kHz. This narrow-bandwidth phase-locking technique is useful for generating high-spectral-purity millimetre-wave signals with a considerably simpler setup.

  • Coherence-selectable operation of externalcavity semiconductor diode laser by intracavity polarisation control

    ELECTRONICS LETTERS, INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET, 51, 7, 574-U133, Apr. 2015, Peer-reviwed, The operation of an external-cavity semiconductor diode laser with selectable coherence and a tunable wavelength has been successfully demonstrated through the control of the intracavity polarisation state. The laser has an intracavity half-wave plate that is able to rotate the orientation of the polarisation axis with regard to diffraction grating, where the grating acts as a polarisation- and wavelength-selective element. As a result, it was possible to continuously sweep the correlation widths from 230 kHz to 2.0 MHz by simply rotating the half-wave plate.

To reduce the extra-loss of the resonant cavity, a Brewster-input KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF) prism coupling device (PCD) was designed and employed in the second stage SHG for the first time. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

    OPTICAL REVIEW, OPTICAL SOC JAPAN, 16, 1, 11-14, Jan. 2009, Peer-reviwed, We report on the efficient generation of cold rubidium atoms as a potential coherent atom source for atom lithography. We successfully trapped and cooled 2.6 x 10(8) atoms in 5 s with a conventional magneto-optical trap simply by enlarging the diameter of the laser beam to 20 mm. The size of the laser-cooled atom cloud was measured to be 10 x 7 x 7 mm(3). The number of trapped atoms was approximately 10 times as large as that of previous typical results, while the loading time of atoms remained the same.

    APPLIED OPTICS, OPTICAL SOC AMER, 45, 15, 3629-3633, May 2006, Peer-reviwed, A fiber-optic mirror magneto-optical trap (mirror-MOT) that uses a pair of circularly polarized light-emitting optical fibers as an optical access is demonstrated. The fiber is fabricated so that a length of birefringence fiber, designed to be a quarter wave retarder at both wavelengths of 780 and 852 nm, is attached directly onto a polarization-maintaining normal fiber. The polarization states of light emitted from the fibers are sufficiently circular for the operation of a mirror-MOT with Rb-87 atoms. The mirror-MOT is able to capture approximately the same number of atoms obtainable with a conventional mirror-MOT. The technique makes it possible to fabricate a compact MOT apparatus by introducing the optical fibers directly into an ultrahigh-vacuum chamber. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America

The polarity modulation greatly improves the signal linearity to the THz field. Combining this technique with software lock-in detection, it is found that the modulation efficiency is also improved compared to conventional optical chopping.

  • A novel technique for optical generation of millimeter-wave signals using multiple phase-locked lasers
    M Hyodo; M Watanabe
    IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRONICS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E86C, 7, 1236-1244, Jul. 2003, Peer-reviwed, A new technique for optical generation of high-purity millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals-namely, by synthesizing the outputs from cascadingly phase-locked multiple semiconductor lasers-was developed. Firstly, a high-spectral-purity mm-wave signal was optically generated by heterodyning the outputs from two phase-locked external-cavity semiconductor lasers. The beat signal was detected by a p-i-n photodiode whose output was directly coupled to a coax-waveguide converter followed by a W-band harmonic mixer. By constructing an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL), a high-spectral-purity mm-wave signal with an electrical power of 2.3 muW was successfully generated at 110 GHz with an rms phase fluctuation of 57 mrad. Secondly, the frequency of the mm-wave signal was extended by use of three cascadingly phase-locked semiconductor lasers. This technique uses a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to generate four-wave-mixing (FWM) signals as well as to amplify the input signals. When the three lasers were appropriately tuned, two pairs of FWM signals were nearly degenerated. By phase-locking the offset frequency in one of the nearly degenerated pairs, the frequency separations among the three lasers were kept at a ratio of 1:2. Thus, we successfully generated high-purity millimeter-wave optical-beat signals at frequencies at 330.566 GHz with an rms phase fluctuation of 0.38 rad. A detailed analysis of the phase fluctuations was carried out on the basis of measured power spectral densities. The possibility of extending the mm-wave frequency up to 1 THz by using four cascadingly phase-locked lasers was also discussed.

  • An electronic read-out circuit for time-domain terahertz imaging with photoconductive antennas
    M Herrmann; M Tani; M Watanabe; K Sakai
    PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 47, 21, 3711-3718, Nov. 2002, Peer-reviwed, We have developed a signal amplifier for the detection of weak repetitive pulsed signals superimposed on a large back-round. It is based on a double gated integrator principle with two channels locked to a sequence of alternate signal and back-round pulses. The circuit is compact and cost effective, and thus suitable for use in large numbers with detector arrays, for example in terahertz imaging. The performance was verified in terahertz time-domain C spectroscopy based on an amplified femosecond laser and found to be better than that of a commercial lock-in amplifier.

Glass, eggshell and various plastics have been imaged in powders such as wheat flour, tale and sugar. The method may have applications in quality control. The images have been compiled by making use of various features of the terahertz; time-domain waveforms. Details arising from refraction and interference close to the resolution limit are discussed. A simple method is suggested for distinguishing between objects of different materials even if their thickness is unknown. The potential of THz radiation for measuring the local density profile of powders is also demonstrated.

    APPLIED PHYSICS B-LASERS AND OPTICS, SPRINGER-VERLAG, 73, 7, 647-651, Nov. 2001, Peer-reviwed, High-resolution atomic channeling using velocity-controlled atoms may be able to overcome precision limitations of the conventional atom lithography. We have experimentally clarified the dependence of line width and contrast of atomic patterns in the channeling region on the velocity spread of the atomic source for the first time. Thermal or velocity-selected atomic beams prepared with a one-dimensional magneto-optical trap were employed as the atomic sources. We investigated the channeling characteristics by measuring the frequency shifts of the atomic absorption spectra in an intense standing wave light field. As a result., we can show that narrower line width and higher contrast atomic patterns are obtained as the velocity spread becomes narrower. An atomic pattern with an estimated line width of 57 nm was generated when the velocity spread of the atomic source was almost 50 m/s, that is, 1/6 that of the thermal beam.

    APPLIED PHYSICS B-LASERS AND OPTICS, SPRINGER VERLAG, 67, 2, 223-227, Aug. 1998, Peer-reviwed, The 729-nm radiation obtained from a commercially available laser diode operated at a low temperature was used to observe the S-1/2 - D-5/2 electric-quadrupole-allowed transitions of a laser-cooled Caf ion in a small rf trap. The electron shelving method was used to measure the absorption spectrum of the electric-quadrupole-allowed transitions, and the motional sidebands due to the secular motion of the ion in the harmonic potential well of the rf trap were completely resolved. The effective temperature of the ion, estimated by comparing the observed sideband intensities with the theoretical ones, was less than 4.4 mK. This result is in good agreement with that obtained from the analysis of the linewidth measurement.

    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS SHORT NOTES & REVIEW PAPERS, JAPAN J APPLIED PHYSICS, 36, 12A, 7189-7193, Dec. 1997, Peer-reviwed, We have generated a continuous, monovelocity Yb atomic beam based on a technique combining velocity compression and beam deflection. Two single-mode lasers were used to compress the thermally broadened velocity distribution, and a multi-mode spectrum of a mode-locked laser was used to extract the compressed part as a deflected beam. The observed deflection angles were compared with the calculations. Deflection angles up to 12 degrees were obtained.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 46, 2, 137-140, Apr. 1997, The possibility of using Cd+ ions as a microwave frequency standard whose light source is all-solid state UV laser system is presented, The ground-state hyperfine splitting of trapped Cd-113(+) ions is measured using an RF trap technique. The transition is detected using a laser microwave double-resonance method in the presence of He buffer gas. The splitting is determined to be 15 199 862 858(2) Hz. The preciseness of the value was improved over that in previous data by seven orders of magnitude. A light source of 214.5 nm is being developed by the authors for optical pumping and laser-cooling of Cd+ ions whose fundamental oscillator is based on diode lasers.

  • Spatial separation of ion clouds between sympathetically laser-cooled Cd+-ion isotopes in a Penning trap
    H Imajo; K Hayasaka; R Ohmukai; U Tanaka; M Watanabe; S Urabe
    PHYSICAL REVIEW A, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 55, 2, 1276-1280, Feb. 1997, Peer-reviwed, Natural Cd+ ions in a Penning trap are cooled sympathetically below 1 K by a Coulomb interaction with directly laser-cooled Be+ ions. Spatial separation of the Be+ and Cd+ ion clouds due to centrifugal force is observed directly. When the frequency of rotation of the ion clouds is accelerated, the separation between Cd+-ion isotopes (A = 110 and 116) can be clearly observed, though their mass difference is very small. The equations of motion for 100 Be+ ions and 50 Cd+ ions are solved to simulate the experiments, and the result shows the spatial separation between the two ion species. The separation between the Cd+-ion isotopes is investigated by comparing the experimental results with numerical calculations.

  • OBSERVATION OF LASER-COOLED BE+-ION CLOUDS IN A PENNING TRAP
    H IMAJO; K HAYASAKA; R OHMUKAI; M WATANABE; S URABE
    APPLIED PHYSICS B-LASERS AND OPTICS, SPRINGER VERLAG, 61, 3, 285-289, Sep. 1995, Peer-reviwed, Be+ ions trapped in a Penning trap are laser-cooled to about 10 mK. The excitation spectra of ion clouds containing about 500 ions are obtained by scanning the frequency of the cooling laser and discontinuities in these spectra are observed because of phase transitions. When the cooled ions are heated electrically by applying an rf voltage, no phase transition occurs and the spectra become continuous. Two-dimensional measurement of the ion clouds is carried out and the abrupt change in the shape of the ion cloud due to the phase transition is observed, When many ions are trapped and cooled, the phase transition occurs partially and a transient state where two states are mixed can be observed. The static properties of the ions are also measured by using an additional probe laser and the results of experimental measurements are compared with theoretical predictions.

    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 33, 3 S, 1590-1594, 1994, Peer-reviwed, This paper describes our recent experimental results on trapping and laser cooling of Ca+ ions. The measurement of the characteristics of laser-cooled Ca+ ions in an rf quadrupole ion trap, such as the fluorescence line shape and phase transition, is described. Observation of two types of collision-induced “quantum jumps” of a Ca+ ion in a background gas of H2 or air is also described. Since the rate of the collision-induced jumps is very high for Ca+, it is necessary to achieve an extremely high vacuum condition for frequency standard applications. © 1994 Japanese Journal of applied Physics.

    APPLIED PHYSICS B-PHOTOPHYSICS AND LASER CHEMISTRY, SPRINGER VERLAG, 57, 5, 367-371, Nov. 1993, Peer-reviwed, This paper describes trapping and laser cooling of a Ca+ ion in an rf quadrupole ion trap. A single Ca+ ion is laser cooled to below 130 mK and quantum jumps are observed by exciting the ion into the metastable D5/2 state via the P3/2 state. The lifetime of the metastable D5/2 state is estimated from the distribution of the dark periods of the quantum-jump signal. Collision-induced jumps between the metastable D3/2 state and the D5/2 state in a background gas are also directly observed.
