Abstract: A laser source (10, 30, 40) comprising a laser medium (10) having a back facet (10B) and a front surface (10A), whereby the laser medium (10) is adapted to emit a laser beam through the front surface into an external cavity defined in length by a cavity end mirror (40) reflecting the laser beam back towards the laser medium (10). A wavelength tunable filter (30) is arranged between the laser medium (10) and the cavity end mirror (40) adapted for tuning the wavelength of the laser beam. The laser medium (10), the wavelength tunable filter (30), and the cavity end mirror (40) are arranged in a spatially linear cavity structure substantially in a line without angular redirection of the laser beam in the cavity between the laser medium (10) and the cavity end mirror (40). At least one portion of the laser beam within the cavity after passing the wavelength tunable filter (30) and before again passing the laser medium (10) is coupled out as an output beam (50) of the laser source (10, 30, 40), and the cavity end mirror (40) is provided to be partly transparent for coupling out a first output beam (50).

Abstract: A setup for providing an optical contact adapted for guiding an optical signal comprises an optical waveguide being adapted for guiding the optical signal and comprising a tip on an end of the waveguide, wherein the tip comprises a transparent elastic material covering the end. A detector is provided for detecting a substantial alignment between the waveguide and an optical path within a device under test, and a first moving unit is used to move the waveguide laterally relative to a longitudinal direction of the waveguide and the device under test until the detector substantially detects the alignment. A second moving unit is adapted to reduce the distance between the tip and the device under test until the tip comes in physical contact with the device under test when the detector has detected alignment.

Abstract: The invention shows a method and an apparatus for tuning a laser, comprising the steps of: creating a laser with a path between a cavity end element and a tuning element of an external cavity, both being a high reflective or semitransparent mirror, selecting at least one longitudinal mode of the laser by introducing a dispersion element in the path of the laser, rotating the tuning element about a pivot axis theoretically defined by the intersection of the surface planes of the cavity end element, the dispersion element and the tuning element to tune the laser. The inventive method and apparatus is characterized by moving the dispersion element along such a predetermined path to at least partly compensate an inclination between the real position of the pivot axis and the theoretically defined position.

Abstract: An optical measuring unit (20, 30) for measuring an optical property of an incoming optical beam (10) comprises a polarization converter (20) receiving the incoming optical beam (10) and providing a first output beam (50) and a second output beam (90) thereof, which are spatially separated and with substantially matching states of polarization. A polarization dependent analysis unit (30) receives the first (50) and the second (90) output beams from the polarization converter (20), and measures the optical property of both the first (50) and the second (90) output beams. The polarization converter (20) comprises a polarization dependent beam splitter (40) splitting up an incoming optical beam (10) into a first output beam (50) of the polarization converter (20) and into a second beam (60), each with a defined state of polarization but different from each other. A polarization adapter (80) receives the second beam (60) and for provides the second output beam (90) of the polarization converter (20), whereby the state of polarization of the second output beam (90) substantially matches with the state of polarization of the first output beam (50). The first output beam (50) and the second output beam (90) are spatially separated from each other to avoid interference effects.
