Abstract

We demonstrated effective generation of high-order sideband components whose frequency deviation was 312 GHz by using a reciprocating optical modulator. Enhancement factor in the eighth-order sideband was 65.9 dB with respect to conventional modulation methods.

We demonstrated reciprocating optical modulation using erbium-doped LiNbO3crystal for high-order sideband generation and selective amplification. A Ti-diffused waveguide, formed on the crystal, had a gain of 2.1 dB/cm for 1531.4-nm signal light pumped at 1480 nm with a pump power of 200 mW/port. A sideband component of 40 GHz was successfully enhanced and a gain of 12 dB was realized.

Note: Efficient generation of optical sidebands at GHz with a high-power tapered amplifier

Jake Zappala, K. Bailey, Zheng‐Tian Lu +2 more

Two methods using a laser-diode tapered amplifier to produce high-power, high-efficiency optical frequency sidebands over a wide tunable frequency range are studied and compared. For a total output of 500 mW at 811 nm, 20% of the power can be placed in each of the first-order sidebands. Functionality and characterization are presented within the sideband frequency region of 0.8-2.3 GHz, and it is shown that both methods can be applied beyond this frequency range. These methods provide a versatile and effective tool for atomic physics experiments.

Control of electro-optic sideband spectrum using sequential modulators

Umakanth Dammalapati, Rachel Elvin, Paul F. Griffin +1 more

Abstract Electro-optic modulators are widely used for the generation of optical sidebands for various applications. Here, we report on a technique enabling control of the relative amplitudes of optical sidebands generated by electro-optic modulators. The technique makes use of a phase modulator and Mach–Zehnder amplitude modulator, connected in series to break the symmetry of the sideband amplitudes. The generated optical sideband spectrum can be controlled by the two radio frequency (RF) modulation amplitudes, the attenuation level of the amplitude modulator, and the relative RF phase of the two modulations. We demonstrate near-complete suppression of one first-order sideband and with simultaneously achieving equal amplitudes of the carrier and the other first-order sideband with > 94% purity. The technique can be utilised to produce a spectrum with effectively two frequency components. This enables application in atomic physics experiments such as the minimisation of off-resonant light shifts that can limit the performance of atomic clocks and interferometers. We demonstrate operation in the near-infrared, at 795 nm, using commercial-off-the-shelf components and circumventing the need for frequency doubling of lasers in the optical communications region.

Magnon-mediated multi-channel high-order sideband generation in cavity magnonics

Yan Fu, Lin Yang, Man Cao +1 more

Abstract We propose a scheme to describe magnon-mediated multi-channel high-order sideband generation in a cross cavity magnonic system. The high-order sideband generation is composed of equally spaced discrete output frequency components, which is essential tools for light communication, precision metrology, timing and spectroscopy. Beyond the generally linearized description by using the perturbative method, we deal with the Heisenberg–Langevin equations in the non-perturbative regime to obtain the output spectrum of high-order sidebands. Unlike conventional methods of using power that requires externally adjustable incident beams, here we demonstrate magnon-mediated high-order sideband generation in a cavity magnonic device by utilizing its intrinsically good tunability. Furthermore, until now most of the work in cavity magnonics is mainly restricted to the frequency/time domain, while we realize the modulation of sideband effects by the manipulation of cavity-magnon polaritons in real space, that is the external magnetic field with a tunable angle. By tuning the angle, we can obtain multi-channel high-order sideband generation, which may offer the potential for selectively transferring coherent information processing technologies.
