Abstract :
A single grating combined with a Michelson interferometer is used to generate dual-wavelength picosecond pulses by self-injection seeding of a laser diode. The wavelengths and their spacing can be readily tuned by adjusting the grating and the mirrors in the interferometer. The system is simple, robust, and is of low cost
