Abstract

Spectrum-narrowed and -locked broad-area diode lasers operating at 780 nm are essential for rubidium laser development. With the help of Littrow-type transmission gratings, we demonstrated a simple scheme with a narrow linewidth and the diode laser’s center wavelength locked without thermal drift, in contrast to volume Bragg gratings. By carefully collimating the diode laser beam, we realized a linewidth narrower than 0.17 nm and a side-mode suppression ratio over 20 dB. Furthermore, broad-spectrum tuning at 9 nm was demonstrated by grating angle tuning. This method could easily be adapted to other wavelength diode lasers.
