Single longitudinal mode or single frequency lasers are necessary in many areas of optical metrology and interferometry, including LIDAR, high-resolution spectroscopy, data storage, and optical communications. Unfortunately, conventional lasers cannot be used directly for these applications due to their spectrally broad output. This project aims to bridge that gap by developing an efficient, simple and agile multi-mode to single mode converter, bringing unprecedented capabilities to the laser industry.
