The invention provides a mode-hopping-free large-range continuous tunable
external cavity semiconductor laser, which comprises a
laser diode (1), a collimating lens (2), a polarization splitting
prism (3), a narrow-band interference sheet (4), a
prism-type super-strong-level reflective film (5) and a piezoelectric module (6), the
laser diode (1), the collimating lens (2) and the polarization splitting
prism (3) are sequentially arranged on a light path, and the narrow-band interference sheet (4), the prism-type super-strong-level reflective film (5) and the piezoelectric module (6) are bonded together. The rotation axis is located on the light path of the laser and coincides with the rear surface of the piezoelectric module (6). According to the mode-hopping-free large-range continuous tunable
external cavity semiconductor laser, the sensitivity of the
laser frequency to the rotation angle of the narrow-band interference sheet is utilized, and the angle and the cavity length of the interference sheet are changed at the same time, so that the transmission peak
center frequency of the interference sheet and the specific cavity mode frequency are highly synchronized along with the change of the angle; according to the laser,
mode hopping of the laser output frequency is avoided, and continuous tunability of the output frequency along with the rotation angle of the cavity mirror is guaranteed.
