ABSTRACT:
A tunable laser and laser tuning method based on the use of a tunable etalon in reflection as a mirror within a laser cavity and forming an end reflective surface thereof. The laser emission wavelength is not necessarily at a wavelength of peak etalon reflectivity. A preferred embodiment makes use of a microelectromechanical etalon to tune an external cavity semiconductor.
