Overview

Experimental study demonstrates ultra-narrowband optical filtering with sub-nanometer bandwidth control, highlighting viable fabrication pathways for quantum technology and single-photon LiDAR.

Key Points

Design and fabricate an ultra-narrowband optical frequency discriminator exhibiting picometer-level bandwidth control and high thermal stability for quantum detection and single-photon LiDAR.
Optimized multi-parameter Fabry–Perot etalon design models to convert operational bandwidth and stability requirements into physical manufacturing targets.
Fabricated substrates via sequential CNC milling, lapping, chemical–mechanical polishing, ion-beam polishing, atomic layer deposition step formation, and ion-beam evaporation coating.
Implemented a dual-tank hybrid circulation temperature management system to maintain thermal stability within ±0.1 °C.
The fabricated discriminator achieved a full width at half maximum of 30–60 pm and a free spectral range of 260 ± 5 pm.
Testing demonstrated a peak transmission of ≥80% with temperature drift stability maintained at ≤3 pm/°C.
