Mode stability of external cavity diode lasers.
Mode stability is an important performance characteristic of external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs). It has been well established that the continuous mode-hop-free tuning range of a grating-feedback ECDL can be optimized by rotating the grating about a specific pivot location. We show that similar results can be obtained for other more convenient pivot locations by choosing instead the cavity len...
متن کاملFast tuning of external-cavity diode lasers.
We report on a method for characterizing the tuning capabilities of small-bandwidth external-cavity diode lasers. The step response of a piezo-driven Littman-Metcalf external-cavity diode laser and the compensation of its optoelectromechanical frequency response is investigated. When an approximately 50-V compensated Gaussian pulse is applied to the piezo element, a detuning of 13.6 GHz is obse...
متن کاملLinewidths below 100 kHz with external cavity diode lasers.
The linewidth of external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs) is an increasingly important characteristic for experiments in coherent optical communications and atomic physics. The Schawlow-Townes and time-averaged linewidths depend on free parameters of the design, such as cavity length, power, and grating characteristics. We show that the linewidth is also sensitive to the focus, set by the distance ...
متن کاملVertical-external-cavity semiconductor lasers
Surface-emitting semiconductor lasers can make use of external cavities and optical pumping techniques to achieve a combination of high continuous-wave output power and near-diffraction-limited beam quality that is not matched by any other type of semiconductor source. The ready access to the laser mode that the external cavity provides has been exploited for applications such as intra-cavity f...
متن کاملExternal-cavity diode laser using a grazing-incidence diffraction grating.
An external cavity has been developed for use with commercial diode lasers. It uses a diffraction grating at grazing incidence for wavelength selection and output coupling. This configuration allows a GaAlAs diode laser to be tuned conveniently anywhere in a range greater than 20 nm. Also, the linewidth is reduced by a factor of more than 1000 from 40 MHz to less than 10 kHz. The new laser syst...
