Frequency locking of an optical cavity using linear–quadratic Gaussian integral control

Abstract: We show that a systematic modern control technique such as linear–quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control can be applied to a problem in experimental quantum optics which has previously been addressed using traditional approaches to controller design. An LQG controller which includes integral action is synthesized to stabilize the frequency of the cavity to the laser frequency and to reject low frequency noise. The controller is successfully implemented in the laboratory using a dSpace digital signal processing board… Show more

“…The error signal follows the step input without oscillations in the steady state. This is in contrast to the closed-loop step response presented in [11], [12] which showed undesired steady state oscillations in the frequency close to the first resonance in the frequency response for the plant. The closed-loop step response using the digital PI controller is also presented for comparison.…”

“…A simple third-order model is obtained for the cavity using system identification methods, leading to a fourth-order model for the integral LQG controller. This is in contrast to the results presented in [11], [12] where a 13 th -order model is used for the plant, leading to a 15 thorder controller. This is further reduced to a sixth-order controller using model reduction techniques for the purpose of implementation.…”

“…Piezoelectric actuators are utilized in a wide range of industrial, scientific and commercial applications including scanning probe microscope positioning systems [1,2], fuel injection valves [3], and laser beam manipulation [4]. Although piezoelectric actuators have a number of desirable characteristics, a major disadvantage is the hysteresis exhibited at high electric fields [5,6].…”
