Tunability of the cw radiation from a GaAs injection laser in an external dispersive cavity was achieved over a range of 150 Å about a center wavelength of 8525 Å at 77°K. The emitted radiation was analyzed with a Fabry-Perot etalon. Under certain conditions single-mode operation with cw output power as large as 17 mW was observed. Half-width of such modes was estimated to be less than 350 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
