Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, and does not particularly relate to a Littman structure tunable external cavity semiconductor laser. Background technique [0002] Tunable semiconductor lasers have the advantages of narrow line width, tunable wavelength, and small size. Compared with traditional lasers, tunable external cavity semiconductor lasers can achieve continuous wavelength tuning without mode hopping through the matching of the epitaxial resonator and the laser cavity. Measurements, atomic physics and other fields play an important role. Especially in the field of large-scale assembly, laser ranging technology has become a key supporting technology for spatial pose detection in the assembly process. The frequency scanned interferometry (FSI) system with tunable semiconductor lasers can realize absolute distance measurement without guide rails, and is a modern distance measurement system that is more suitabl...
