| Zusammenfassung: | A laser employing a tapered, thin film interference filter as a tuning element. Tapered, thin film interference filters employing dielectric layers are disclosed for use in tuning lasers. Methods of tuning a laser by adjustably positioning a tapered thin film interference filter are disclosed. Also included are a method for tuning a laser to account or thermal wavelength drift, a method of mounting an etalon in a substantially stress free manner, and a mount therefor. |
