Title :
Diode-laser frequency stabilization based on the resonant Faraday effect
Abstract :
The authors present the results of a method for frequency stabilizing laser diodes based on the resonant Faraday effects. A Faraday cell in conjunction with a polarizer crossed with respect to the polarization of the laser diode comprises the intracavity frequency selective element. In this arrangement, a laser pull-in range of 9 AA was measured, and the laser operated at a single frequency with a linewidth less than 6 MHz.<>
