Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An external resonator-type semiconductor laser device 1 A includes an external resonator formed of one or a plurality of laser diode light sources and a VBG; an optical fiber which outputs output light La from the laser diode light source toward the VBG, and into which return light Lb from the VBG is input; and a displacement unit that displaces a disposition position of the VBG with respect to an input and output end surface of the optical fiber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An external resonator-type semiconductor laser device comprising: an external resonator formed of one or a plurality of laser diode light sources and a VBG; an optical fiber configured to output an output light from the laser diode light source toward the VBG, and to input a return light from the VBG; and a displacement unit configured to displace a disposition position of the VBG with respect to an input and output end surface of the output light and the return light in the optical fiber. 2. The external resonator-type semiconductor laser device according to claim 1 , wherein the displacement unit displaces the VBG in a direction along an optical axis of the output light. 3. The external resonator-type semiconductor laser device according to claim 2 , wherein a condensing lens is disposed between the input and output end surface of the optical fiber and the VBG. 4. The external resonator-type semiconductor laser device according to claim 1 , wherein a collimating lens is disposed between the input and output end surface of the optical fiber and the VBG, and the displacement unit displaces the VBG in a direction intersecting an optical axis of the output light.
