Watt-level single-frequency tapered amplifier laser using a narrowband interference filter

We demonstrate a tunable external cavity tapered amplifier laser (ECTAL) using a narrowband interference filter as the wavelength discriminator. The laser is tunable over a wavelength range from 1006 to 1031 nm with an output power of ∼1  W. The amplified stimulated emission of the laser system is suppressed to better than 32 dB. The laser is applied to study the saturation spectroscopy on the R(39) 57-0 line of iodine molecule, which, to our best knowledge, is the first measurement of this line close to the dissociation limit. The linewidth of the a1 component is ∼2  MHz at the iodine vapor pressure of ∼11  Pa, and the pressure-broadening coefficient is ∼156  kHz/Pa. This laser system is also used for the injection seeding of a 1030 nm disk laser to perform hyperfine spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen. To reach a satisfactory condition for disk laser use, the ECTAL is successfully stabilized to the iodine Doppler-free spectroscopy of the P(26) 43-0 line near 515 nm, with continuous locking over 48 h.
