Abstract
A grating tuned laser system having an anamorphic optical section (72) that produces a line image on the grating (73). This system is insensitive to tilt of the grating (73) about an axis (T) perpendicular to the rulings (74) of the grating (73). An embodiment that utilizes a degenerate external cavity is also insensitive to small lateral misalignment of the optical elements.
