PCT No. PCT/US95/05779 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 7, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 28, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/34007 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 14, 1995A multi-line continuous wideband tunable laser (1) utilizes a symmetric or asymmetric grating (5) and a plurality of optical fibers (3), each of which forms a part of a respective laser cavity optical axis. By simultaneously altering both the periodicity of the intersections of the grating (5) with the plurality of optical axes established by the plurality of optical fibers (3) and the effective cavity length of each laser (1), a single-line spectral output is achieved at any desired point in the operating band.
