However, in fact, the wavelength tuning in the wavelength tuning laser is also to change the cavity length of the resonant cavity through piezoelectric machinery or changing the temperature, or to change the laser wavelength by mechanically rotating the grating, although the components that need to be driven are in the laser cavity. The weight is smaller than the reference mirror, but it is still unavoidable to reduce the precision caused by mechanical movement or temperature change, and the development of tunable lasers is difficult and costly; in addition, the number of steps that can be shifted is lim
