S. Hatano et al., Suppression of self-frequency-scanning and brightness improvement of a broad-stripe laser diode using phase conjugate feedback, JPN J A P 1, 38(6A), 1999, pp. 3522-3525
We present a new technique for suppressing the self-frequency-scanning in a
single-stripe high power laser diode, known as a broad-stripe laser diode
(BS-LD) with phase conjugate feedback. The lasing frequency was locked at t
he central wavelength of 808.7 nm within 0.1 nm for 20 min. The BS-LD was t
hen operated in a narrow-band with a nm line width and generated a single-l
obed near-field radiation with a narrow divergence.
