摘要:
环境噪声与力学实验的耦合通常会给谐振器引入低频涨落,从而增加测量噪声并降低信噪比。为抵消这些涨落,我们展示了一种动态反馈系统,其实现方式是将微波驱动锁定到含噪腔上。零差干涉仪方案监测由低频噪声引起的腔谐振涨落,并通过对微波发生器进行频率调制(FM)来抑制该噪声。该反馈的带宽为400 Hz;在积分至2 kHz带宽时,腔涨落降低了84%。此外,腔谐振频率涨落降低了73%。该方案可扩展,以实现锁定到同一反馈信号的多音实验。作为演示,我们将该反馈应用于一项光力学实验,并实现了腔锁定的多音力学测量。由于低频腔频率噪声可能成为许多实验中的限制因素,本文提出的多音微波锁定技术有望与广泛的研究领域相关。
英文摘要:
Environmental noise coupling to mechanical experiments often introduces low-frequency fluctuations to the resonators, adding noise to measurements and reducing signal to noise. To counter these fluctuations, we demonstrate a dynamic feedback system implemented by the locking of a microwave drive to the noisy cavity. A homodyne interferometer scheme monitors the cavity resonance fluctuations due to low-frequency noise, which is mitigated by frequency-modulating (FM) the microwave generator. The feedback has a bandwidth of $400$ Hz, with a reduction of cavity fluctuations by $84\%$ integrating up to a bandwidth of $2$ kHz. Moreover, the cavity resonance frequency fluctuations are reduced by $73\%$. This scheme can be scaled to enable multi-tone experiments locked to the same feedback signal. As a demonstration, we apply the feedback to an optomechanical experiment and implement a cavity-locked, multi-tone mechanical measurement. As low-frequency cavity frequency noise can be a limiting factor in many experiments, the multi-tone microwave locking technique presented here is expected to be relevant for a wide range of fields of research.
