Article Abstract
Narrow-linewidth lasers mainly depend on the development of advanced laser linewidth measurement methods for related technological progress as key devices in satellite laser communications, precision measurements, ultra-high-speed optical communications, and other fields. This manuscript provides a theoretical analysis of linewidth characterization methods based on the beat frequency power spectrum and laser phase noise calculations, and elaborates on existing research of measurement technologies. In addition, to address the technical challenges of complex measurement systems that commonly rely on long optical fibers and significant phase noise jitter in the existing research, a short-delay self-heterodyne method based on coherent envelope spectrum demodulation was discussed in depth to reduce the phase jitter caused by 1/ noise. We assessed the performance parameters and testing conditions of different lasers, as well as the corresponding linewidth characterization methods, and analyzed the measurement accuracy and error sources of various methods.

This paper presents a comprehensive optimization of tuning capability and noise characteristics in 1018-nm distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) single-frequency fiber lasers. By implementing an advanced doped fiber design and a dual-stage precision thermal control system, for the first time, we demonstrate a fusion-spliced DBR fiber laser incorporating an 8-mm Yb-doped fiber that achieves >2 nm mode-hop-free continuous tuning across an extended temperature range of -20 °C to 175 °C. The integration of a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) tuning mechanism enables rapid frequency adjustment with a 10-GHz tuning bandwidth.

It increases the signal from possible axions and axion-like particles in the experiment by nearly four orders of magnitude. The total round-trip optical losses of the power circulating in the cavity must be minimized in order to maximize the resonant enhancement of the cavity, which is an important figure of merit for ALPS II.

To narrow the output linewidths of external-cavity semiconductor lasers further, a metal-dielectric GIG with high diffraction efficiency and high groove density was designed and fabricated. The grating was optimized using a combination of the Fourier modal method and the particle swarm optimization algorithm.

The microstructure of the surface of the material and the internal defects are usually in the scale range of tens to hundreds of micrometers, which requires high spatiotemporal resolution measurement technology. A multi-wavelength narrow linewidth CW laser was designed and a spatial dispersion probe was developed to achieve high spatial resolution measurement in a single optical fiber, which breaks through the existing close-packed scattered point measurement shortboard.

The magnetometer enables simultaneous measurements of DC and AC magnetic fields and can recognize the direction of a two-dimensional DC magnetic field by demodulating the frequency shifts of two nondegenerate modes of the membrane. Benefiting from the two-beam interference and high- mechanical resonance, this device does not suffer from the linewidth and polarization fluctuation of the probe light as the reported counterparts, overcoming the dependence of optomechanical magnetometers on ultranarrow-linewidth laser and high- optical cavity with frequency locking equipment.
