SURFACE-EMITTING EXTERNAL CAVITY LASER DEVICE

摘要

A surface-emitting extended cavity laser with intracavity frequency conversion is provided with at least one surface-emitting laser element (1) with multiple layers to obtain laser light at a fundamental frequency, reflector means, spaced from the laser element (1) to form an external cavity (12), a frequency conversion device (3), arranged within the external cavity (12) to generate light at a second frequency and tuneable optical band-pass filter means, arranged within the external cavity (12) and detector means, where said optical band-pass filter means are tuneable upon a signal, which is obtained by the detector means to enable a frequency control at the fundamental frequency.
