摘要

We introduce a new method of frequency-shifting for a diode laser in laser cooling experiments, the method is based on the Zeeman effect of 87Rb atoms. The laser frequency is stabilized by absorption spectrum line of atoms in magnetic field. We show that a magnetic field can be added up to 10-2T. The corresponding frequency shift is 102MHz and the response time is about 1 ms. The large range of the frequency shift is sufficient for laser-cooling experiments.
