Abstract
A frequency tuning system for a laser includes mode-matched lasing and feedback cavities. A reflective facet of the feedback cavity is adjustable for retroreflecting different feedback frequencies to the lasing cavity without changing a fixed length of the feedback cavity. A selection among resonant frequencies of the feedback cavity provides for tuning the laser through discrete resonant frequencies of the lasing cavity.
