Abstract
We present in this paper a low threshold, highly stable, integrated fi ber laser cavity that uses an electronically tunable internal Bragg gr ating. The fiber laser produced over 5 mW with a spectral width of abo ut 5 GHz at 1083 nm. The laser was used to achieve 30% polarization of the 2 S-3(1) metastable states of He-4 in a weak rf discharge cell. ( C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
