Abstract

This invention relates to a continuously wavelength tunable monomode laser source with external cavity comprising a resonant cavity having a reflecting plane face, means for extracting a portion of the luminous flux and a retroreflecting dispersive device, an amplifier wave guide located inside the resonant cavity, means for controlling the retroreflecting dispersive device providing continuous tunability. The laser source comprises a photo-refractive component located in the cavity, sensitive to the wavelength of the laser source, within which is formed a Bragg grating.
