Semiconductor lasers for metrology and telecommunications
Růžička, Bohdan
The subject of my work is realisation of a semiconductor source of coherent radiation in the infra-red area with relative frequency stability at least of 10.sup.-8./sup., which could become the basis of a future etalon of wavelengths for optical communication in the Czech Republic. I am a member of a research team which solves these problems at the workplace of the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Measurements of Residual Reflectivity and Wavelength of Coated Laser Diodes
Růžička, Bohdan ; Lazar, Josef ; Wilfert, O.
This contribution presents experimental results obtained by deposition of double-layer system made by means of electron-beam vacuum evaporation technique. We oriented our effort to short-wavelength 633 - 635 nm laser diodes. These devices are emitting close to the wavelength of traditional He-Ne lasers with an intention to use them in extended-cavity laser design for metrological purposes. The resulting reflectivities were evaluated by measuring a testing plate of GaAs and by measuring a "modulation depth" of a coated diode emission spectra. Our best results were reflectivities well below 10 -4 and the repeatibility of the deposition process in a range not exceeding 2x10 -4 .
