Optimized controller design for an ECDL locked to at optical cavity

ORAL

Abstract

We have performed a study of optimized feedback control of an external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) locked to a high-finesse optical cavity. We have measured the response of the laser to current modulation and developed a mathematical model of our laser. Using this model, we have calculated optimized designs for the feedback controller which keeps the laser locked to the optical cavity.
