976 nm External Cavity Diode Laser with High Beam Quality and Narrow Linewidth
Traditional diode lasers typically suffer from large divergence angles and multi-mode operation at high power output, which limits their beam focusing capability and stability. This study employs a Littman-type external cavity diode laser structural model combined with classical multi-beam interference theory. A tapered diode laser is integrated with external optical components, including a transmission grating, a prism, and a flat mirror, to design and construct an external cavity diode laser capable of high beam quality and narrow linewidth laser output. When the wavelength is locked at 976 nm, the laser achieves an output power of 1.48 W, with a fast-axis beam quality factor of
