Zusammenfassung:A tunable or swept laser architecture that is appropriate for swept source optical coherence tomography and other applications including spectroscopy employing a cat's-eye configuration with a preferably transmissive tilt tuned interference thin film filter. A cavity element is used in the laser. It has a front surface and a back surface, the front surface being configured to receive the collimated light and the back surface comprising a mirror or output coupler surface.
