Abstract :
An electronically controlled external cavity laser diode for fast wavelength tuning and multiple-colour lasing is presented. The spectral-tuning is accomplished by a digital micromirror device. Tuning of 47.4 nm with a tuning speed of 0.85 nm/ms was achieved. Simultaneous emission of up to 9 laser lines is demonstrated
