A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is used to create temperature perturbations to the system. With DML temperature stabilization not engaged, the VCO frequency changes with the external temperature perturbations as shown in Fig. 4(b), reflecting the variations of the cavity temperature. When temperature stabilization is engaged, the VCO frequency remains flat despite spikes at the perturbation transitions as shown in Fig. 4(d). The VCO frequency resumes from the spike peak to its original value in 20 s. In a 16-hour experiment without abrupt temperature perturbations, the VCO frequency has a standard deviation of 9.47 kHz, equivalent to a cavity temperature stability of ± 60.3 µK. The results demonstrate that the DML temperature stabilization feedback system can effectively correct the cavity temperature and keep it in a narrow variation range. The system’s temperature sensitivity can be further improved by using higher Q-factor resonators to improve error signal signal-to-noise ratio and applying loop filters to reject unwanted harmonics from double sideband phase modulation. Feedforward method to correct the laser frequency [9] is currently under investigation.
