内容記述 | Center-frequency drift in diode lasers can be reduced by stabilizing the laser to an optical cavity with a low bandwidth feedback loop that acts on the injection current. Resonant optical feedback from a confocal or ring cavity can reduce high frequency noise, yielding linewidths in the 10 kHz range. With either an optical or an electronic lock to a cavity, the laser's wavelength is restricted to those regions that can be reached by temperature and current tuning of the solitary diode; this can be extended to full coverage by means of an extended cavity with a frequency-selective component, such as a diffraction grating. |
