System and method for generating an optimum side-mode suppression ratio continuous tuning path for a semiconductor tunable laser

A system and method to determine data sets of front mirror current, back mirror current and phase current that change the wavelength output by a semiconductor laser in a prescribed trajectory versus time, while maintaining the maximum side-mode suppression ratio at each point during the sweep.
