An all-solid-state laser source at 671 nm for cold atom experiments with lithium

Résumé

We present an all solid-state narrow line\-width laser source emitting $670\,\mathrm{mW}$ output power at $671\,\mathrm{nm}$ delivered in a diffraction-limited beam. The \linebreak source is based on a fre\-quency-doubled diode-end-\linebreak pumped ring laser operating on the ${^4F}_{3/2} \rightarrow {^4I}_{13/2}$ transition in Nd:YVO$_4$. By using periodically-poled po\-tassium titanyl phosphate (ppKTP) in an external build\-up cavity, doubling efficiencies of up to 86\% are obtained. Tunability of the source over $100\,\rm GHz$ is accomplished. We demonstrate the suitability of this robust frequency-stabilized light source for laser cooling of lithium atoms. Finally a simplified design based on intra-cavity doubling is described and first results are presented.
