Finding the noise at the edge of laser injection locking.
ORAL
Abstract
Injection locking is a way to transfer the frequency and linewidth of a stabilized laser to a free running laser. However, the lock only works as long as the free-running wavelength of the injected laser doesn't drift too far from the wavelength of the master laser. I am searching for possible noise as the laser reaches the edge of its stable lock range. If this noise exists, then it will be possible to use a feedback controller to keep the noise at a minimum and therefore prevent loss of the injection lock.
