Frequency-narrowed external-cavity diode-laser-array bar.

چکیده
We demonstrate that appropriately designed external cavities can be used to frequency narrow high-power diode-array bars. Using a commercial 20-W array, we narrow the linewidth to 50 GHz with 14 W of cw output power. A magnifying telescope and a cylindrical collimating lens minimize broadening owing to curvature in the alignment of the diode-array elements.

Tuning extension of a Difference-Frequency generation up to 100 nm using V-shaped external-cavity for the pump laser
In this research, tunability of a commercial diode laser has extended to about more than ± 11 nm using a V-shaped external-cavity fabricated around the laser. Although under normal condition it can be tuned up to about ± 4 nm just by changing its temperature and injection current. Such modified diode laser has then used in a difference-frequency generation (DFG) experimental setup as pump sourc...
متن کاملFrequency-narrowed diode array bar.
We describe a method to frequency narrow multielement high-power diode bars. Using a commercial 60-W, 49-element, 1-cm-long diode array bar at 795 nm running at 45 W, we narrow the linewidth from 1000 to 64 GHz with only a loss of 33% in output power. The resulting laser light is well suited for spin-exchange optical pumping of noble gas nuclei.
متن کاملOperation of a frequency-narrowed high-beam quality broad-area laser by a passively stabilized external cavity technique.
The average spectral bandwidth of a 2 W broad-area diode laser was narrowed to 5 GHz with wavelength tunability of up to 12 nm at a center wavelength of 790 nm with the use of a Littman-Metcalf external cavity in a displaced configuration. The use of lens and combined lens-laser transformation systems allowed precise alignment of the beam shaping optics, which led to significant improvements of...
متن کاملLocking and wavelength selection of an ultra-collimated single-mode diode laser bar by a volume holographic grating.
Wavelength-locking by a volume holographic grating (VHG) is reported for a diode laser bar with 49 single mode emitters, fitted with a dual-axis collimation phase-plate for smile elimination and excellent beam pointing correction. The much-improved VHG feedback with the ultra-collimated array beam gives 100% wavelength locking at 975 nm over a 17°C temperature range and external cavity lengths ...
متن کاملBandwidth narrowing and dual wavelength emission of a 20 W laser diode array
We report on the performance of a commercial, non-AR coated diode laser bar, consisting of 20 emitters, which uses an external cavity to achieve 16 W of bandwidth-narrowed output and 2.9 W of dual wavelength emission. These are the highest output powers reported so far for this type of cavity and diode laser array. Introduction For numerous scientific and industrial applications it is of intere...
