Abstract

A highly digital optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) is designed and implemented to generate phase-coherent lasers in quantum optics. All the controlling circuit in this OPLL are implemented in a single field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. Pipeline and parallelism technology have been adapted in PID controller. Especially, an equivalent 3.5 GHz high speed clock and twisted ring counter have been integrated in the most crucial part. This OPLL has the narrow beat note line width below 1 Hz, residual mean-square phase error of 0.05 rad² and transition time of 100 μs under 10 MHz frequency step.
