Preface
Diodelaserscanbewonderfulthings:theyareefficient,compact,lowcost,
highpower,lownoise,tunable,andcoveralargerangeofwavelengths.
Theycanalsobeobstreperous,sensitive,andtemperamental,particularly
externalcavitydiodelasers(ECDLs). Incombinationwithadvancedelec-
tronicssuchastheMOGLabsDLCexternalcavitydiodelasercontroller,the
CEL “cateye”laserdescribedhereprovidesarobust,stable,acoustically
inert,lowlinewidthandhighlytunablelasersystem.
WehopethattheMOGLabsCELworkswellforyourapplication. Please
