ABSTRACT:
A spectral line selector for a laser comprises a diffraction grating that images a waveguide exit plane back into the waveguide with an essentially exact reproduction of the waveguide output intensity and phase distribution and with a predetermined wavelength. The selector also comprises lenses disposed between the waveguide exit at a point between the exit opening and the grating, the lenses providing a magnification and a phase compensation to the beam passing therethrough such that the phase of the beam returned to the waveguide matches that of the exiting beam. Thus, coupling losses due to clipping of the returned beam at the entrance to the waveguide bore and coupling losses due to a mismatch of the returning field phase to that of the waveguide mode are made essentially zero.
