摘要：

We describe a simple electro-optically activated external-cavity diode laser designed to provide high-speed, high-coherence tuning over gigahertz frequency ranges. Tuning as fast as 23 GHz/mu s is demonstrated. Coherence measurements indicate transform-limited quiescent laser linewidth in observation windows as wide as similar to 100 mu s and transform-limited chirps. A self-heterodyne, cross-correlation-based coherence diagnostic is developed for characterizing phase coherence during high-speed chirps. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
