摘要
We report stable narrow linewidth laser systems based on self-developed Littman configuration external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs). The frequency of the ECDL is stabilized to a high fineness ultralow-expansion glass reference cavity with the Pound-Drever-Hall technique. By heterodyne beating of two identical systems, we conclude that the linewidth of each ECDL is reduced to lower than 150 Hz and its frequency stability reaches 4.3 x 10(-14) at an averaging time of 1s, the averaged long-term frequency drift is less than 0.2 Hz/s over 30h measurement time.
