Design of concentric ring bi-detectors to obtain directly the curve of frequency discrimination

A novel concentric-ring shaped Si-photocell bi-detector, to detect the frequency-discrimination curve, is suggested and details of the design procedure are given. The design is based on the shrinkage and expansion of the interference fringe of a confocal Fabry-Perot cavity when either the cavity len...

Summary:A novel concentric-ring shaped Si-photocell bi-detector, to detect the frequency-discrimination curve, is suggested and details of the design procedure are given. The design is based on the shrinkage and expansion of the interference fringe of a confocal Fabry-Perot cavity when either the cavity length is scanned or the light frequency modulated. It has been successfully used in frequency-stabilized pulsed Nd:YAG laser systems and gives a frequency-stability of better than 1 MHz.
