摘要
We broaden the linewidth of an external cavity diode laser using frequency-shifted feedback from an intracavity acousto-optic modulator. The configuration employed allows for wider tunability than has been previously reported, allowing for easy tuning to the D1 or D2 line of Rb-85 and Rb-87. We demonstrate the usefulness of the lasts for optical pumping of Zeeman-split lines in the kilogauss regime. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
