Abstract
Fine frequency tuning of the deep-ultraviolet single-mode coherent light at was conducted through the PID feedback system automatically by changing the temperature of a (BBO) crystal in a doubly resonant external cavity for the sum-frequency mixing of 373 and light. The temperature-dependent frequency tuning rate is , which is sufficiently fine to realize the laser cooling of neutral silicon atoms because the natural width of the laser cooling transition is .
