TUNABLE LASERS: TUNABLE SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS AND TUNABLE DIODE LASERS
Introduction to Multiple-Prism Grating Oscillator Configurations for Tunable Semiconductor, and/or Diode, Lasers
F. J. Duarte, Multiple-prism grating designs tune diode lasers, Laser Focus
World 29 (2), 103-109 (1993).
Closed-cavity multiple-prism near grazing-incidence grating configuration for tunable semiconductor lasers as described in the 1993 Laser Focus World article. Closed-cavity configurations offer lower noise and enhanced protection from unwanted external optical feedback.
