RESONATOR BASED EXTERNAL CAVITY LASER

摘要

An external cavity laser comprises a gain medium and an external cavity resonator without the use of a semi-reflective surface placed between the gain medium and the resonator. Radiation from the gain medium is reflected back to the gain medium by one or more resonant backscattering regions of the resonator, such that the entire optical path between the gain medium and the external cavity resonator could be free from a reflective surface.
