Abstract
The spectral tunability of quantum well (QW) semiconductor lasers is found to approach the range of dye lasers. We will show the theoretical calculations leading to this conclusion1 and demonstrate tuning of a Fabry-Perot single quantum well (GaAI)As laser in a grating-coupled external cavity over a record range of 105 nm.
