  • Abstract
    This note describes the use of distributed Bragg reflection (DBR) type laser diodes for use in optically pumped Cs beam frequency standards. We have used a DBR laser at 852 nm as the optical source for the fluorescence detection of the Cs clock transition in NIST-7 and find it to be equivalent to the extended cavity diode laser.
