Simple structure external cavity diode lasers: a review

Abstract

Tunable External Cavity Diode Laser (ECDL) systems are versatile tools for a wide range of applications requiring narrow-band, tunable coherent light sources, including the quantum manipulation of atoms and high-resolution spectroscopy. These devices hold significant potential for improvement, offering numerous opportunities across various research fields and applications. This work provides a review of ECDLs, focusing on homemade designs and their structural evolution from the concept of optical feedback up to the end of 2024. Furthermore, investigations into the performance of ECDLs are included. Finally, the future of these devices is discussed in light of advancing technology.
