[POST A JOB OFFER] It's Free to Post PATENT MARKETPLACE Tunable Ring Laser The tunable ring laser consists of grating reflectors connected to a semiconductor ring laser cavity through a bi-directional coupler. This invention has the tuning mechanism placed outside the laser cavity, separate from the lasing frequency-determining mechanisms. Therefore the tuning action does not affect the accurate values of lasing frequency, and the laser is rapidly tunable to very accurate pre-set frequencies without drifting afterwards.
