Abstract:A high quality Multiple Diode Laser (MDL) has been built that combines 16 Spectra Diode Lab's laser diodes into a single beam using both wavelength and polarization combining. The MDL shown in Figure 1 was designed and built to spe flight requirements. Critical submicrorneter tolerances to hieve wavelength stability, beam collimation, and beam coalignment and stability were met using developed, repeatable jocesses. The most stressing optomechanical requirement was the placement and cementing of an external eta… Show more
