ABSTRACT:
A frequency tunable waveguide extended cavity laser formed with a laser diode, a channel waveguide comprising an electro-optic material, a frequency tunable Bragg grating reflector formed in or on the channel waveguide and a pair of conducting electrodes. The frequency of radiation produced by the frequency tunable waveguide extended cavity laser is adjusted so as to be at a desired frequency by applying a voltage to the conducting electrodes. The device further incorporates a waveguide nonlinear optical frequency converter to produce frequency convened radiation at a higher frequency. Feedback means are included for dynamically controlling the desired frequency so as to be at a frequency for optimum frequency conversion.
