Frequency Response Bandwidth Calibration of High Speed Photodetector Using Frequency-Stabilized Laser by Optical Heterodyne Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, frequency-stabilized laser technology is introduced into photodetector frequency response measurement system. A 1531nm frequency-stabilized laser fulfilled by acetylene saturated absorption is employed to produce coherent light with a tunable laser source, gaining stable beat frequency light that reaches as high as several hundred ghz, fulfilling measurement of 40ghz high-speed photodetector frequency response bandwidth, and lowering impacts caused by instability of light frequency. In addition, measurement uncertainty analysis is conducted, which is better than 7 %(k=2).
