In this paper, we report a new scheme to amplify a microwave signal carried on a laser light at lambda=852 nm. The amplification is done via a semiconductor tapered amplifier and this scheme is used to drive stimulated Raman transitions in an atom interferometer. Sideband generation in the amplifier, due to self-phase and amplitude modulation,...

We present a high performance, low cost, simple setup for long term temperature stabilization of a 2 m optical fiber ring cavity for laser frequency stabilization applications thanks to birefringence of the fiber and its dependence on temperature. The fiber temperature is controlled, at millisecond time scale by LED (light emissive diode)...
