Title: Amplifying An Ultra-Stable Diode Laser Via Injection Locking
Abstract: I discuss a 657 nm, high stability, high power diode laser realized by injection locking a high power slave diode laser to an ultra-stable external cavity master diode laser. This laser system will be used in a thermal beam calcium atom interferometer. A method is also discussed for determining the linewidth broadening between master and slave lasers. The master laser beam is beat with the slave laser beam whose frequency is shifted by 200 MHz. The measured broadening between master and slave lasers was less than the 30 Hz resolution of our RF spectrum analyzer.
