Doppler-free optical multiplex spectroscopy with stochastic excitation

Abstract

By using the concept of stochastic excitation, a multichannel optical spectrometer was developed with an inherent spectral resolution in the kilohertz domain. Stochastic optical fields are obtained by phase modulating a frequency-stabilized Ar+ laser with a pseudorandom binary sequence. This sequence is characterized by an autocorrelation time of 5 nsec, with a resulting excitation bandwidth of approximately 200 MHz. A signal related to an optical free-induction decay is obtained after cross correlating the response of the system with the time-delayed stochastic excitation sequence. The performance of the spectrometer was demonstrated by observing Doppler-free transitions of molecular iodine.
