Abstract

Système laser caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une source laser présentant une plage de verrouillage autour d'une fréquence libre f0, un résonateur optique, placé en sortie de la source laser, présentant un mode de résonance compris dans la plage de verrouillage de la source laser, et un amplificateur optique générant de l'émission spontanée à la fréquence dudit mode de résonance compris dans la plage de verrouillage de la source laser, le résonateur étant agencé de manière à ce qu'il soit couplé avec la source laser et l'amplificateur.Laser system characterized in that it comprises a laser source having a locking range around a free frequency f0, an optical resonator, placed at the output of the laser source, having a resonance mode included in the locking range of the laser source, and an optical amplifier generating spontaneous emission at the frequency of said resonance mode included in the locking range of the laser source, the resonator being arranged so that it is coupled with the laser source and the 'amplifier.
