Single frequency semiconductor lasers

Single frequency semiconductor lasers are of interest for communication systems and spectroscopy. In communications, narrow linewidth is desirable to minimize dispersion effects and low cross-talk multiple wavelength channels on a single fiber. For GaAs-based lasers, the interest in narrow linewidth sources comes from the spectroscopy community that desires a light source that can be tuned to very narrow absorption spectra of various materials. For both of these applications, narrow linewidth, wavelength tunable semiconductor lasers are well-suited.
