Abstract :
A low-cost, phase-lock circuit for slaving an extended-cavity diode laser to a stabilized reference laser has been developed. Grounded coplanar waveguide and surface mount technology have been used. An internal mixing stage allows continuous tuning of the laser difference frequency between 5 MHz and 1.5 GHz. Absolute phase locks exceeding 8 hours have been demonstrated.<>
