Abstract :
Summary form only given. We demonstrate a novel approach for achieving a narrowband, electronically tuned laser. Through decreasing the shifted frequency with two acousto-optical tunable filters (AOTF) settled parallel inside the laser cavity, the bandwidth of frequency shifted feedback (FSF) laser has been compressed. At the same time, the laser could be tuned electronically in a wide range without mechanical adjustment or dispersive element.
