The spectroscopy module provides saturated absorption spectroscopy to atomic rubidium. It contains a rubidium absorption cell, TEC, balanced photodetector, and associated mirrors and beamsplitting optics. Nominally, it takes two 1% samples from the input beam. Temperature control stabilizes the number density of atoms in the cell, and a balanced photodetection circuit compensates for intensity drifts giving stable control over the lock point for side locking applications. Two beamsteering adjustments are provided for optimizing overlap of the counter-propagating beams, and positioning on the signal photodiode. The photodiode output is shot-noise limited out to ~12 MHz for photocurrents of 50 A and above. The high bandwidth of the feedback enables tight solid locking that is immune to vibrations and shock. | The spectroscopy module provides saturated absorption spectroscopy to atomic rubidium.
