ABSTRACT:
A switchable multichannel external cavity injection laser incorporates a diffraction grating between a linear array of n reflectors and a common reflector to define a set of n optical cavities having different frequency bands. Each of the (n+1) reflectors is provided by the optically distal end of an associated semiconductor laser amplifier whose optically proximal end is arranged to be substantially non-reflective.
