Abstract

The present application is directed to a tunable coherent light source and includes at least one seed source configured to irradiate at least one seed signal, at least one modulator configured to modulate the seed signal to a desired pulse width and repetition rate, at least one organic laser system configured to emit at least one tunable output at a desired wavelength when irradiated with the modulated seed signal, at least one control unit in communication with at least one of the seed source, the modulator, and the organic laser system and configured to receive at least one input and generate a control signal, and at least one controllable stage in communication with at least the control unit and configured to support the organic laser system, the controllable stage capable of controllably translating the organic laser system in response to the control signal to produce an output signal at a desired wavelength.
