Abstract The topic of improving the mechanical stability of external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs) has recently attracted widespread attention and interest. The use of corner-cube-array (CCA)-based resonators provides a potential solution for this purpose, although continuous oscillation at super large incident angle remains challenging. In this work, we employ the CCA resonator to generate continuous oscillation within ±20° angular misalignment of cavity mirror in experiment. On the basis of retroreflection theory, the retroreflectivity of a CCA is analyzed by using optical simulation software. Notably, the experiment verifies the advantage of using a CCA over a plane mirror in laser resonator, thereby providing a promising approach for ECDLs. The threshold characteristic curves measured at different incident angles in the experiment verify that the CCA possesses an obvious anti-angle misalignment performance. This research introduces an alternative solution of using CCA resonator instead of parallel plane cavity, thereby realizing an adjustment-free ECDL with enhanced mechanical stability.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
