Schematic diagram of the SERFG. TA: tapered amplifier, BSL: beam shaping lenses; M: reflection mirror; P: linear polarizer; NE: noise eater; HWP: half wave plate; PBS: polarizing beam splitter; QWP: quarter wave plate; PD: photodiode; PEM: photo-elastic modulator; LIA: lock-in amplifier; SEC: servo electronic circuit. An LISS mainly compromises of an NE, an HWP, a PBS, a PD, and an SEC. The output laser intensity of the LISS is monitored by the PD, which detects the intensity of a small portion of laser split by the PBS. The PD signal is fed into the SEC. The SEC compares the current laser intensity with the set-point value and changes the driving voltage applied to the NE to change the output laser intensity.
