Abstract :
Summary form only given. With the aim of increasing the coherence length of 633-nm laser diodes and realizing a large tuning range, an external-cavity diode laser (ECL) in the Littman design was set up. The front facet of the laser diode was antireflection coated and the light from the diode is reflected back via a fixed grating and a rotatable mirror.
