We demonstrate a scheme to use a Littman configuration external cavity diode laser(ECDL) as a stablefrequency light source to stabilize two cw single-mode Ti:sapphire lasers for laser cooling of magnesium fluoride molecules. An ECDL based on the Littman configuration is constructed and stabilized by a digital signal processor system. We stabilize the frequency of our ECDL to 0.77 MHz precision over 10 h and the Allan standard deviation reaches 2.6 × 10-11 at an integration time of 10 s. We lock two Ti:sapphire lasers through a transfer cavity, and either laser has a long-term frequency stability of 2.5 MHz.
