LASER STABILIZATION EXPERIMENTS AND OPTICAL FREQUENCY COMB APPLICATIONS

<p>In this Thesis I report on my work done in replicating the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) laser stabilization technique as well as applications of PDH to microring resonators and generated Optical Frequency Combs (OFC). These works have been broken down into three sections. First, I replicated the PDH method with a continuous wave (CW) laser along with a Fabry-PĂ©rot Cavity (FPC). Second, I applied the same technique to a 25 GHz Free Spectral Range (FSR) microring resonator fabricated in Silicon Nitride. Third, I applied the PDH technique to a high Quality Factor (Q) high Free Spectral Range (FSR) microring resonator in preparation to lock the repetition rate of two soliton combs beat together. The last experiment was for an application towards a compact optical clock system; such systems will have a wide impact on the infrastructure of our navigation and communication structures in use today.</p>
