摘要: An adjustable etalon mode selector is mounted within the optical cavity of a laser and includes pair spaced prisms along axis with beam passing therethrough means for selectively adjusting spacing between in manner such that resonant frequency combination remains constant during adjustment prism order particular operating wavelength spectrum may be selected output, without modulating natural frequency.
