Abstract
A resonating cavity system of a tunable multi-wavelength semiconductor laser. The system has a laser, a collimating lens, a grating, a slit plate, and adjustable mirrors. The laser has two ends. The first end is coupled to the cavity, and the second end outputs the laser beam. The grating is located in the lasing path between the first end of the semiconductor laser and the plate, and the plate is located before the adjustable mirrors. Each adjustable mirror is aligned to the corresponding slit of the plate. Lasing paths extend from the first end of the laser, through the grating, the lens, a plurality of the slits of the plate, to the adjustable mirrors. Each mirror can be adjusted independently to ensure each beam is reflected accurately back to each resonating path. Thereby, a feature of equal lasing gains of all the resonating paths is guaranteed.
