Active frequency stabilization of monolithic, diode laser pumped, solid state lasers
Abstract
Laser frequency stabilization is briefly reviewed with an emphasis on the requirements in monolithic, diode laser pumped, solid state lasers. Recent work on the active stabilization of a diode laser pumped, nonplanar ring oscillator to less than 3 Hz of relative linewidth is included and improvements necessary to reach the quantum limit are discussed. Results using these sources in a coherent communication link and to injection lock a 13 W laser are also presented.
