Abstract
We report on spectra obtained by measuring the laser intensity noise after a broad-bandwidth diode-laser beam passes through a rubidium vapor cell. The atomic resonance converts laser frequency fluctuations into intensity fluctuations. We compare our experimental spectra with numerically calculated spectra based on a phase-diffusion model of the laser field and find good agreement.
