摘要
The spectrum of a high power multielement laser array is narrowed using reflection feedback from an 100 mu m etalon placed in front of the laser. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the laser array is reduced by a factor of 2 with only 6% power loss. This reduction in FWHM is useful for optical pumping of alkali metals in the presence of high density buffer gas. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)03434-3].
