According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A laser system may include a semiconductor laser configured to emit laser radiation in continuous wave operation at M modes having differing angular frequencies, where 2less than equal toM and where n=[1; M]. A tuning apparatus may periodically modify the angular frequencies where a variation of each angular frequency is smaller by at least a factor of 2 than a mode distance between the releva...
