Note: A compact external-cavity diode laser, using feedback from an optical fiber

Rev Sci Instrum. 2017 Sep;88(9):096102. doi: 10.1063/1.4991709.

Abstract

We demonstrate a simple and compact external cavity diode laser (ECDL), where light reflected from the tip of an optical fiber provides feedback, and an interference filter provides frequency selection. The ECDL combines ease of construction with robust operation and exhibits a linewidth of 50 kHz.
