A laser system consisting of a planar PN junction within a single crystal of gallium arsenide. The pair of parallel, semireflective end faces produces a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity, whereas the other faces are sawed to suppress all except the modes...

A grating that serves to provide higher resolution and dispersion than the average grating, and still has a greater free...
