Abstract

We report on the phase-locking of two diode lasers based on self-seeded tapered amplifiers. In these lasers, a reduction of linewidth is achieved using narrow-band high-transmission interference filters for frequency selection. The lasers combine a compact design with a Lorentzian linewidth below 200 kHz at an output power of 300 mW for a wavelength of 780 nm. We characterize the phase noise of the phase-locked laser system and study its potential for coherent beam-splitting in atom interferometers.

Figures (4)

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Phase-locked loop setup. The beat note of the two lasers is detected by a photo-diode and a control signal is generated by the subsequent elements, which is fed back to the slave laser via three control loops. LP and LF stand for low-pass-filter and loop-filter, respectively. The other acronyms can be found in the text.
