Abstract: Short-cavity diode lasers (SCDLs) emitting at the 894-nm D₁ line of caesium are developed. Low threshold currents and power consumption will make it possible to use these lasers in chip-size atomic clocks (CSACs) and magnetometers. The SCDL parameters are comparable with the parameters of surface-emitting lasers.
