Electronically tunable fiber laser for optical pumping of 3He and 4He

We present in this paper a low threshold, highly stable, integrated fiber laser cavity that uses an electronically tunable internal Bragg grating. The fiber laser produced over 5 mW with a spectral width of about 5 GHz at 1083 nm. The laser was used to achieve 30% polarization of the 2 3 S 1 metasta...

Description
Summary:We present in this paper a low threshold, highly stable, integrated fiber laser cavity that uses an electronically tunable internal Bragg grating. The fiber laser produced over 5 mW with a spectral width of about 5 GHz at 1083 nm. The laser was used to achieve 30% polarization of the 2 3 S 1 metastable states of 4He in a weak rf discharge cell.
