In the paper, we research frequency difference lock of two lasers. In the optical fiber Brillouin sensor, two beams of laser frequency stability around 11G to achieve stimulated Brillouin scattering or heterodyne detection. Currently, we mainly through the optical delay to implement the locking of the frequency difference in the Brillouin sense. through the electric field amplify circuit to improve lock accuracy and improve the system program.

Abstract. The acquisition of atmospheric wind profiles on a global scale was realized by the launch of the Aeolus satellite, carrying the unique Atmospheric LAser Doppler INstrument (ALADIN), the first Doppler wind lidar in space. One major component of ALADIN is its high-power, ultraviolet (UV) laser transmitter which is based on an injection-seeded, frequency-tripled Nd:YAG laser and fulfills a set of demanding requirements in terms of pulse energy, pulse length, repetition rate as well as spatial and spectral beam properties. In particular, the frequency stability of the laser emission is an essential parameter which determines the performance of the lidar instrument, as the Doppler frequency shifts to be detected are on the order of 108 smaller than the frequency of the emitted UV light. This article reports the assessment of the ALADIN laser frequency stability and its influence on the quality of the Aeolus wind data. Excellent frequency stability with pulse-to-pulse variations of about 10 MHz (root mean square) is evident for over more than two years of operations in space despite the permanent occurrence of short periods with significantly enhanced frequency noise (> 30 MHz). The latter were found to coincide with specific rotation speeds of the satellite's reaction wheels, suggesting that the root cause are micro-vibrations that deteriorate the laser stability on time scales of a few tens of seconds. Analysis of the Aeolus wind error with respect to ECMWF model winds shows that the temporally degraded frequency stability of the ALADIN laser transmitter has only minor influence on the wind data quality on a global scale, which is primarily due to the small percentage of wind measurements for which the frequency fluctuations are considerably enhanced. Hence, although the Mie wind bias is increased by 0.3 m·s−1 at times when the frequency stability is worse than 20 MHz, the small contribution of 4 % from all wind results renders this effect insignificant (
