Abstract

We evaluate ways to analyze optical-heterodyne measurements of frequency chirp in pulsed, single-longitudinal-mode output from lasers (or other coherent light sources) that operate on nanosecond time scales. The instantaneous frequency is extracted from the beat signal generated between a continuous-wave reference beam and the output of the pulsed source. Three analysis techniques are tested: Fourier-transform, direct curve fitting, and electronic mixing. We use synthetic beat waveforms based on actual experimental parameters to evaluate the three methods and apply these chirp-measurement techniques to an injection-seeded optical parametric oscillator system.
