摘要:
The present invention concerns a laser device for generating an optical wave at a laser frequency, comprising (i) a semiconductor element (10) comprising a gain region (13) with quantum wells, said gain region (13) being located between a first mirror (12) and an exit region (14) defining an optical microcavity, (ii) a second mirror (16) distinct from the semiconductor element (10) and arranged so as to form with the first mirror (12) an external optical cavity including the gain region (13), (iii) means (18, 19, 20) for pumping the gain region (13) so as to generate the optical wave (21), wherein the optical microcavity with the gain region (13) and the external optical cavity are arranged so that the spectral ratio between the Half Width Half Maximum (HWHM) spectral bandwidth of the modal gain and the free spectral range of the external cavity is in the range of 5 to 30.
