论文摘要
我们实验研究了与机械谐振镜和光学放大器集成的基于纤维的光学环腔。该设备表现出各种有趣的非线性效应,包括同步和自激发振荡。当将光圈腔的频率非常接近悬浮镜的机械频率调整时,观察到被动生成的光脉冲。在此机械模式锁定过程的阈值处的光功率与光放大器的量子噪声有关。
We experimentally study a fiber-based optical ring cavity integrated with a mechanical resonator mirror and an optical amplifier. The device exhibits a variety of intriguing nonlinear effects including synchronization and self-excited oscillation. Passively generated optical pulses are observed when the frequency of the optical ring cavity is tuned very close to the mechanical frequency of the suspended mirror. The optical power at the threshold of this process of mechanical mode locking is found to be related to quantum noise of the optical amplifier.
