SummaryAn automatic linewidth control loop which provides stable optimum linewidth reduction and single cavity mode operation of an external cavity semiconductor laser is presented. Stable linewidth reduction from 70 MHz to below 2 MHz is obtained for a 1.3 μm BH-laser, whereas simultaneous mean frequency stabilization to within 1 kHz and linewidth reduction from 17 MHz to 1.6 MHz is demonstrated for an 830 nm CSP-laser.

SummaryA frequency stabilization system for semiconductor lasers is described which makes use of a Fiber-Fabry-Perot (FFP) as frequency reference element. The FFP is fabricated from a 3 cm length piece of monomode fiber thus allowing for a compact “all fiber” packaging of the optical part of the system. The electronics includes laser diode and FFP temperature stabilization (± 1 mK) as well as a laser current modulation technique with phase sensitive detection and current control in order to stabilize the laser wavelength to the peak of the FFP transmission curve. Stability of 500 kHz (peak to peak) with respect to the FFP reference is demonstrated as well as insensitivity of this stabilization against substantial variations of the optical intensity coupled into the system.
