Active Phase Control in Laser Coherent Combination Based on Liquid Crystal Optical Modulator
In laser coherent combination,phase detection and control are most critical to master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). Using heterodyne method,consistence of output beam phase can be ensured through real-time detection and correction of optical phase. The modulator is a liquid crystal optical phase modulator,the wavelength of the main oscillation laser is 532 nm,and the output power of laser can be adjusted continuously from 0 to 6 W. The shifted frequency of the heterodyne system is 40 MHz,and the accuracy for phase control is superior to λ/7. In the process of closed-loop control,a good signal phase correction of optical path has been achieved.
