We report injection locking of high-power, fiber-coupled laser diode arrays (LDAs). These LDAs are commonly used for optical pumping on the Rb D1 line at 795 nm in order to spin-exchange polarize ^3He and ^129Xe gas. Free-running (without injection locking), the nominal LDA spectral width is nearly 2 THz, while the pressure-broadened Rb resonance is typically less than 100 GHz wide. With injection down an LDA fiber of narrow spectrum light from a lower-power master laser, more than 70% of the output power from an LDA is collapsed into a line less than 20 GHz wide, corresponding to an amplification of master laser light of about five. We have investigated the dependence of injection locking amplification on master laser frequency and power, and examined limitations and applications of this technique.
