Injection-locking of a fiber-pigtailed high-power laser to an external cavity diode laser via a fiber optic circulator

Abstract

We report on a simple tunable laser injection-lock scheme for atomic physics experiments. Seed light from an external cavity diode laser is injected into a high-power fiber-pigtailed diode laser via a fiber optic circulator. High-power outputs (up to ∼600 mW) at the injected frequency have been obtained in a single-mode fiber with tuning over a wide wavelength range (∼15 nm). The scheme is simpler and more cost-effective than the traditional scheme of free-space injection-locking.
