RESUMEN
We present a simple and effective method to implement an active stabilization of a diode laser with injection locking, which requires minimal user intervenes. The injection-locked state of the diode laser is probed by a photodetector, of which sensitivity is enhanced by a narrow laser-line filter. Taking advantage of the characteristic response of laser power to spectral modes from the narrow laser-line filter, we demonstrate that high spectral purity and low-intensity noise of the diode can be simultaneously maintained by active feedback to the injected laser. Our method is intrinsically cost-effective and does not require bulky devices, such as Fabry-Pérot interferometers or wavemeters, to actively stabilize the diode laser. Based on the successful implementation of this method in our quantum gas experiments, it is conceivable that our active stabilization will greatly simplify potential applications of injection locking of diode lasers in modularized or integrated optical systems.
