An optical lasing device, comprising (i) a lasing medium disposed in a lasing cavity, (ii) an etalon disposed within the lasing cavity, and (iii) an electrically tuned filter device, such as a grating waveguide structure device. The lasing device also comprises a detector for determining the lasing power of the lasing device, and a controllable phase shift capability, and the device is preferably locked to a maximum of the lasing power by adjusting the phase, thereby achieving locking to a wavelength predetermined by the etalon, aligned to an ITU grid wavelength. Adjusting the phase shift to achieve the maximum of the lasing power is preferably performed using a closed loop system. Furthermore, adjusting of the phase shift to achieve a maximum of the lasing power is preferably also operative to wave lock the lasing device to a peak wavelength of the etalon. |
