Extended tuning of an injection-locked diode laser.

چکیده
We have investigated the application of an electronic feedback technique recently reported by Repasky et al. [Appl. Opt. 45, 9013 (2006)] to an injection-locked semiconductor diode laser. We find that without electronic feedback, the injection-locked slave laser will only follow the master for less than 1 GHz, but once the electronic feedback is applied, the slave laser is capable of following for more than 20 GHz, corresponding to the full scan range of the master laser.

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 کاملAlternative laser system for cesium magneto-optical trap via optical injection locking to sideband of a 9-GHz current-modulated diode laser.
By optical injection of an 852-nm extended-cavity diode laser (master laser) to lock the + 1-order sideband of a ~9-GHz-current-modulated diode laser (slave laser), we generate a pair of phase-locked lasers with a frequency difference up to ~9-GHz for a cesium (Cs) magneto-optical trap (MOT) with convenient tuning capability. For a cesium MOT, the master laser acts as repumping laser, locked to...
متن کاملWide-bandwidth mode-hop-free tuning of extended-cavity GaN diode lasers.
We present a new approach for extended-cavity diode-laser tuning to achieve wide mode-hop-free tuning ranges. By using a multiple piezoactuated grating mount, the cavity length and grating angle in the laser can be adjusted independently, allowing mode-hop-free tuning without the need for a mechanically optimized pivot-point mount. Furthermore, synchronized diode injection-current tuning allows...
متن کاملInjection locking suppression of coherence collapse in a diode laser with optical feedback
The effects of injection locking a laser diode which is also subject to varying levels of optical feedback from an external Ž . reflector are investigated. It is found that the locking range of a laser diode with optical feedback LDWOF is reduced relative to that of a solitary laser diode depending on both the increased photon lifetime and the amount of optical feedback. When the LDWOF is locke...
متن کاملInjection - Locked DFB Laser Diode in Main and Multiple Side Modes
One distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode with main and multiple side modes injection-locked is proposed and demonstrated. DFB laser diode can be successfully injection-locked not only in the main mode but also in different side modes. Besides, the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) value of each injection-locked mode is enhanced, in which meaning that a new approach suitable for the use of mu...
