description An external cavity laser (10) employing a tapered, thin firm interference filter (26) as a tuning element. Tapered, thin film interference filters employing dielectric layers are disclosed for use in tuning external cavity layers. Methods of tuning an external cavity laser (10) by adjustably positioning a tapered thin film interference filter (26) are disclosed. Also included are a method for tuning an external cavity laser (10) to account for thermal wavelength drift, a method of mounting an etalon in a substantially stress free manner, and a mount therefor. L'invention concerne un laser à cavité externe (10) utilisant un filtre d'interférence à couche mince biseauté (26) en tant qu'élément d'accord. Elle concerne aussi des filtres d'interférence à couche mince tronconique à couches diélectriques destinés à l'accord de lasers à cavité externe. Elle concerne encore des procédés d'accordage de laser à cavité externe (10) consistant à réaliser un positionnement de réglage d'un filtre d'interférence à couche mince biseauté (26). Elle concerne enfin un procédé d'accordage d'un laser à cavité externe (10) afin de tenir compte du décalage thermique de longueur d'onde, un procédé de montage d'un étalon d'une manière sensiblement libre de contrainte, ainsi qu'une monture associée.
