Abstract
We recollect the development of a particularly simple design for grating-stabilized diode lasers in the group of Theodor Hansen. It is compact, reliable, easy to build and allows simultaneous operation of more than ten systems. The laser design is used in numerous experiments, amongst them the Munich atom laser experiment which is briefly described.
