Device and method for reducing amplitude noise of a light radiation

摘要

The invention relates to a device for reducing amplitude noise of a light radiation, comprising a first birefringent crystal, which has a first length along a direction of light propagation as well as a first optical axis; a polarization device; a light sensitive element, arranged in such a way that at least a part of a beam of light radiating through the first crystal and the polarization device when the device is in operation strikes the light sensitive element; and a control appliance which stands in operative connection with the first crystal and which is provided and arranged for using a signal generated by the light sensitive element as input variable and for applying a voltage signal as output signal to the first crystal to compensate for the amplitude noise. For the temperature control of the first crystal a temperature control appliance is provided which stands in operative connection with the control appliance and which is provided and arranged for using the voltage signal of the control appliance as input variable and for setting the temperature of the first crystal depending on the input variable of the temperature control appliance.
