Abstract :
We have developed an electronic circuit for phase-locking extended-cavity diode lasers to a stable reference laser. The basic phase-lock operates with input frequencies between 5 MHz and 1.5 GHz and allows synthesizer tuning of the difference frequency between the lasers. An external mixing stage can be used for an arbitrary frequency offset.<>
